C'est (vraiment ?) moi qui décide
By Dan Ariely, Christophe Rosson. 2008
"Pourquoi la période des soldes nous pousse-t-elle à acheter des choses dont nous n'avons aucun besoin ? Pourquoi sommes-nous persuadés…
qu'une aspirine à 50 centimes nous guérit plus sûrement qu'un cachet à 5 centimes ? Pourquoi cessons-nous à midi le régime que nous avons décidé le matin ? Pourquoi, en d'autres termes, des gens intelligents comme vous et moi prennent régulièrement des décisions absurdes ? Parce que, nous répond Dan Ariely, spécialiste d'économie comportementale, nous ne sommes pas aussi rationnels que nous voudrions, et cette irrationalité se traduit par une multitude de "mauvais" choix qui touchent tant à notre quotidien qu'à des décisions plus engageantes, telles le fait d'acquérir une maison, de changer de travail ou de nous lancer dans une relation amoureuse. Conçu à partir d'expériences aussi variées qu'instructives, ce livre a pour but de nous aider à mieux déjouer les pièges de notre irrationalité [...]. Au terme de cet amusant périple nous attend une heureuse découverte : comme elle est quasi-systématique, notre irrationnalité est, en quelque sorte, prévisible ! Nous faisons et nous répétons sans cesse les mêmes erreurs de jugement. Il se pourrait bien alors que, si nous avons appris à les identifier, nous nous donnions des chances d'acquérir une meilleure capacité de décision..." -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: Predictably irrational, the hidden forces that shape our decisions.La méthode Coué: histoire d'une pratique de guérison au XXe siècle ((L'univers historique).)
By Hervé Guillemain. 2010
Tous les jours, à tous points de vue, je vais de mieux en mieux. C'est ainsi qu'Émile Coué (1857-1926), pharmacien…
de son état, préconisait à chacun de s'adresser à lui-même pour commencer la journée [...]. Avant de faire son entrée dans le langage courant, victime de discrédit, la méthode Coué connut des heures de gloire entre la Première et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La réputation internationale de Coué (véritable vedette aux États-Unis), l'attrait exercé par sa méthode auprès des anciens combattants, des milieux évangéliques et du public féminin, le regard plutôt bienveillant que porte sur elle la médecine : autant de réalités qui ne laissent pas a posteriori de surprendre, tout autant que l'accueil que lui réserve la psychanalyse naissante, ou les liens tissés avec des figures et des organisations du nationalisme conservateur français. En s'appuyant sur une confrontation de la méthode Coué avec l'histoire sociale, politique, religieuse et médicale, en la resituant dans un moment clé de l'histoire des psychothérapies, Hervé Guillemain analyse les ressorts d'un succès et les raisons d'un déclin. -- 4e de couv.Restless genius: the story of Virginia Woolf (World writers)

whose startup "unicorn" promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood tests significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at $9 billion, putting Holmes's worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn't work. For years, Holmes had been misleading investors, FDA officials, and her own employees. When Carreyrou, working at The Wall Street Journal, got a tip from a former Theranos employee and started asking questions, both Carreyrou and the Journal were threatened with lawsuits. Undaunted, the newspaper ran the first of dozens of Theranos articles in late 2015.

By Tiffany Haddish. 2017
Stand-up comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish grew up in one of the poorest parts of South Central Los Angeles. Her…
mother wound up with a debilitating brain injury after surviving a car accident. Tiffany never fit in anywhere: not in the households she rotated through in the foster care system, and certainly not the nearly all white high school she had to ride the bus an hour to attend. As an illiterate ninth grader, Tiffany did everything she could to survive. After a multitude of jobs, she finally realized that she had talent in an area she never would have suspected: comedy. Tiffany faced the 'routine' hindrances of climbing the entertainment business ladder, but had the added obstacles of sex, race, and class in her way. But she got there. She's humble, grateful, down to earth, and funny as hell. She still cleans the toilet the way she was shown by a foster mom who worked as a maid, and she still rolls her joints the way one of her foster dads taught her. This memoir describes the struggles of a woman who was able to achieve her dreams by reveling in her pain and awkwardness, showing the world who she really is, and inspiring others through the power of laughter. Bestseller. 2017.
