Let the elephants run: unlock your creativity and change everything

Usher believes creativity is in our DNA; it's in everyone, not just the creative class. We all start our lives…
as creative beings but for many that spark becomes lost over time. How do we jump-start our creative process as adults? What does it mean to be a creative person? How do we follow through with our ideas and turn them into tangible outcomes? Usher empowers readers to achieve more “aha” moments through two cornerstone principles of creativity: freedom and structure. Using a mix of personal anecdotes and professional examples from the worlds of industry, technology, science, music and art, he shows us that creativity is not magic; it is a learnable skill that any person or business can master.

Bestseller. 2016.Leadership in turbulent times
By Doris Kearns Goodwin. 2018
In this culmination of five decades of acclaimed studies in presidential history, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin offers an…
illuminating exploration into the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership. Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely--Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)--to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders. No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon adversity. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others. This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today's polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency. Bestseller. 2018.Leaving before the rains come

Bharata, les Kaurava et les Pandava, pour le trône de la dynastie lunaire. Les seconds sont aidés par Krishna, incarnation de Vishnu, qui énoncera juste avant l'ultime bataille la Bhagavad Gîta, pierre angulaire de la spiritualité indienne. Dans cette Iliade indienne où les démons affrontent des armes divines, les thèmes de la vie et de la mort, de la vertu et du destin, de la force et du droit sont traités sous l'angle narratif. Serge Demetrian, qui connaît parfaitement les différentes versions du texte original, a vécu plus de vingt-six ans en Inde. S'inspirant des conteurs traditionnels de l'Inde du Sud, il nous offre une version inédite du Mahâbhârata, qui nous transporte au coeur de l'âme indienne.American vertigo

en tous genres de l'autre - notre conception de Dieu, quelles que soient nos convictions et nos croyances, nous écarte de toute expérience spirituelle. Or selon Deepak Chopra " la question n'est pas de savoir comment penser à Dieu, mais comment en faire l'expérience directement ". Au-delà des controverses, des dogmes et du scepticisme scientifique, Deepak Chopra nous propose de nous connecter à notre dimension spirituelle, cette ressource inaliénable de chaque être humain. Inspiré par les grandes traditions de sagesse et dans le respect des croyances individuelles, Deepak Chopra nous invite à croire, à rencontrer un Dieu non plus modelé à notre image ni à celui des fanatismes de tous bords, mais source de toutes choses et en harmonie avec la conception de l'univers. 2016.In search of wisdom: a monk, a philosopher and a psychiatrist on what matters most

early career - but few players matched his killer instincts in the faceoff circle or in front of the net. The Hockey Hall of Famer from Kingston, Ontario, played for seven teams over his twenty-year career, netting 450 goals and 964 assists during the regular season and another 188 points in the playoffs, making him one of the highest-scoring centres of all time. Gilmour played a big role in the 1989 Stanley Cup victory, scoring the winning goal for the Calgary Flames. Perhaps most famously, he led the Toronto Maple Leafs to multiple winning seasons and in 1993, took them to the brink of their first Stanley Cup final in decades, only to lose out on one of the most controversial calls in hockey history.
