By Dave McAllen. 2024
Un auteur de renom nous montre comment déjouer les conseils permanents, cesser d'essayer d'être "parfait" tout le temps pour atteindre…
notre plein potentiel et être plus heureux. La vie est pavée de conseils pour que vous puissiez agir, vous comporter et faire les choses parfaitement, en imitant des mentors. Il y a donc des juges et des prophètes partout, qui vous disent si vous réussirez dans la vie, si vous excellerez dans votre carrière et ainsi de suite. Mais Dave vous indique une vérité rafraîchissante : vous pouvez diriger vous-même votre destin. Son livre, ''Comment réaliser vos rêves et vos objectifs'' est son antidote à la complaisance et l'absence de sentiment qui ont infecté le monde et reconfiguré une génération. Ce livre est de grande valeur. Dave n'est pas d'accord avec l'idée, corroborée à la fois par des recherches historiques et des exemples bien choisis, que les personnes qui réussissent dépendent de la capacité de leurs parrains et des personnes bien informées à prédire leur destin avec précision. Pour lui, il faut apprendre à se découvrir soi-même et à rester concentré sur ses rêves. Tous les êtres humains ont des faiblesses et des défauts, des succès et des échecs, des hauts et des bas. Nous ne pouvons pas tous devenir grands et exceptionnels. Mais c'est catastrophique quand la direction naturelle de notre vie est changée. Dave nous conseille de procéder à une étude approfondie de nous-mêmes pour commencer à être juste envers notre avenir. Une fois que c'est fait, agissez conformément à votre personnalité et arrêtez de remettre votre destin entre les mains d'autres personnes, qu'il s'agisse de vos pairs, de vos parents, de vos professeurs, etc.Le cadeau

Une fantaisie humoristique pour les fêtes de fin d'année. Le cadeau (attention à ce que vous souhaitez) Joe est le…
fan numéro un de Noël. Il adore cette fête et a hâte de la passer avec sa femme, Beth, à faire ce qu'ils aiment le plus : manger des tartelettes à la viande, boire du vin chaud, rire et se blottir l'un contre l'autre pendant que la télévision diffuse It's a Wonderful Life (La vie est belle). Cependant, Beth a une idée un peu différente cette année. Elle veut passer un très mauvais moment, sinon pourquoi aurait-elle invité sa mère - la belle-mère démoniaque de l'enfer, qui déteste Noël et tout ce qui s'y rapporte ? En fait, il n'y a qu'une seule chose que la terrible belle-mère déteste plus que Noël... et c'est Joe. Heureusement, Joe a un allié dans sa guerre contre le monstre aux cheveux orange et au chewing-gum : un Père Noël de centre commercial qui n'est pas du tout ce qu'il semble être. Ce Père Noël plus grand que nature offre à Joe un cadeau magique qui, promet-il, fera disparaître le problème, mais ce colis d'apparence innocente donne le coup d'envoi d'une aventure que Joe n'oubliera jamais. S'il parvient à atteindre le jour de Noël en un seul morceau et à sauver sa femme et son enfant à naître d'une vie en Laponie, il aura appris une leçon d'une importance vitale : il faut faire attention à ce que l'on souhaite... on pourrait bien l'obtenir.Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find--and Keep-- Love

&“Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.&”—The New York TimesWe already…
rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle.Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: • Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. • Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. • Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
