"Apprendre quun proche est gravement malade est une des situations les plus difficiles qu'une personne puisse vivre dans sa vie.… La peur de perdre l'être cher jumelée à celle de ne pas trouver les mots de réconfort et le soutien adéquat font soudain partie du quotidien. Pour aider ces personnes à accompagner leurs proches [...], Yves Quenneville et Natasha Dufour, médecin-psychiatres à lHôpital Notre-Dame du CHUM, ont conçu cet ouvrage qui se veut simple, soutenant et non directif. "Il est plus un compagnon qu'un guide qui rassure et aide à avoir confiance en ses moyens dans la délicate et difficile tâche d'accompagner dans sa maladie une personne qui nous tient à cœur", explique le Dr Quenneville." -- 4e de couv.

"Voici, enfin traduit en français, l'un des grands classiques de la psychologie du XXe siècle. Dès sa parution aux États-Unis,… il y a plus de dix ans, le livre de Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi a été salué comme un ouvrage fondateur: pour la première fois, grâce à la méthode originale mise au point par son auteur, la question du bonheur recevait une réponse factuelle, dépassant les débats philosophiques. Que dit Csikszentmihalyi? Pour l'essentiel que les moments de joie et de satisfaction dans notre vie ne sont pas associés à de simples loisirs, mais à un certain état psychologique, caractérisé par un sentiment de fluidité mentale et d'intense concentration sur des tâches qui mobilisent toutes nos compétences. C'est à l'étude de cette expérience optimale, des moyens de l'atteindre et de la généraliser qu'est consacrée la majeure partie de Vivre. Car, comme le dit Csikszentmihalyi lui-même: Maîtriser son expérience intérieure, c'est devenir capable de choisir la qualité de ce que l'on veut vivre. Si ce n'est pas le bonheur, cela y ressemble." -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: Flow.
