TDAH?: pour en finir avec le dopage des enfants (Papillon d'errata)
By J.-Claude St-Onge. 2015
" Votre enfant a beaucoup d'énergie un peu trop, même, aux dires de ses enseignant-e-s? Il est parfois distrait, impulsif…
ou colérique? Comme des milliers d'autres jeunes, il pourrait recevoir un diagnostic de trouble déficitaire de l'attention avec ou sans hyperactivité (TDAH) et se voir prescrire un psychostimulant tel le Ritalin. Mais ces comportements sont-ils nécessairement les symptômes d'une "maladie" appelée TDAH? Quelle est la validité de ces diagnostics quand on sait que plus de la moitié d'entre eux sont ultérieurement retirés par un centre spécialisé? Poursuivant son travail sur le pouvoir d'influence de l'industrie pharmaceutique, J.-Claude St-Onge se penche cette fois-ci sur le phénomène du TDAH, qui a littéralement explosé depuis une trentaine d'années. Or, il s'agit d'un diagnostic hautement controversé: les critères pour l'identifier manquent de scientificité et il n'existe aucune preuve que ces symptômes soient le résultat d'un déséquilibre chimique du cerveau. Quant aux médicaments, à long terme, ils ne font aucune différence sur les résultats scolaires et les comportements des enfants. Pire, ils peuvent même aggraver leurs symptômes.

all essentially want the same thing: freedom, inner peace, and a life filled with purpose and meaning. He argues that a life of wholeness and peaceful satisfaction is readily available to us--we just need the eyes to see it and the faith to claim it. The problem is that most people don't know where to look for such a life. This book will help readers open their eyes to the limitless abundance that lies waiting just beyond their current belief system. Jones identifies ten rules or practices that, when followed faithfully, lay the foundation for a life worth living. In order to make each rule as easy to apply as possible, Jones lays out the premise, the problem, the principle, the practice, and the payoff of each. The "Abundance Rules" assist readers in creating a greater flow of goodness into their lives--in ways they may have never considered. 2018.The beauty of discomfort: how what we avoid is what we need

and university students, top athletes and couch potatoes, meditation gurus and military leaders all have very different ways of coping with discomfort, but the most successful among them believe that withstanding discomfort is a skill that has helped them in hugely positive ways. Some were forced into discomfort through no choice of their own - a life-altering illness, a business fiasco - while others signed up for it because they had goals they were determined to achieve. Becoming comfortable with discomfort won’t just make us more resilient and more successful, however we define success. It will also make us happier. 2017.The art of insight: how to have more aha! moments (Your coach in a box)

By Temple Grandin, Richard Panek. 2013
Temple Grandin reports from the forefront of autism science, bringing her singular perspective to a thrilling journey into the heart…
of the autism revolution. Weaving her own experience with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the neuroimaging advances and genetic research that link brain science to behaviour, even sharing her own brain scan to show us which anomalies might explain common symptoms. We meet the scientists and self-advocates who are exploring innovative theories of what causes autism and how we can diagnose and best treat it. Grandin also highlights long-ignored sensory problems and the transformative effects we can have by treating autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting, she argues that raising and educating kids on the spectrum isn't just a matter of focusing on their weaknesses; in the science that reveals their long-overlooked strengths she shows us new ways to foster their unique contributions. 2013.Chin-Ning Chu brings the eternal wisdom of philosopher-general Sun Tzu to women looking to gain a better understanding of who…
