organized crime. He has written a number of articles that exposed the Hells Angels' links to the Mafia; articles that he knows enraged the bikers enough to have him killed.

courir. Est-on capable d'apprendre chaque jour à mieux vivre ? Dans ce récit d'ultramarathonien entre le passé, le présent et l'avenir s'ouvre une réflexion sur la vie, sur la course, bien sûr, mais également sur la solitude, sur les douleurs physiques comme morales, sur le dépassement de soi, sur la nécessité d'être inspiré à chaque instant de notre existence et aussi, si possible, de se faire inspirant pour ceux qui nous entourent. " -- 4e de couv.By Jean-François Lépine. 2014
Pendant quarante-deux ans à la télévision et à la radio, j'ai toujours eu à portée de main un de mes…
carnets de notes. À l'écran, ils faisaient partie de l'image. Quand Marc Laurendeau m'a invité à participer à sa magnifique série radiophonique Nos témoins sur la ligne de feu, consacrée aux correspondants de Radio-Canada à l'étranger, j'ai eu envie de redécouvrir et de raconter, à travers les anecdotes tirées de ces carnets, les grands moments de mes expéditions sur la planète, quitte à en être bouleversé. Durant ma vie de journaliste, j'ai couvert deux référendums qui ont déchiré les Québécois. J'ai vu des foules gagner leur liberté, contre l'apartheid en Afrique du Sud, contre l'empire soviétique en Europe. J'ai vu les enfants palestiniens contre les chars israéliens, les Arabes contre leurs dictateurs. J'ai vu les Chinois rejeter Mao pour partir à la conquête du monde. J'ai vu la guerre, au Liban, en Irak, en Iran, en Afghanistan. J'ai vu le monde changer. 2014.By Louise Reid. 2002

L'un des premiers ministres les plus importants de notre histoire, Stephen Harper, a transformé le Canada pour en faire un…
pays plus conservateur. Il a réduit la taille du gouvernement, a rendu le système de justice plus sévère et les provinces plus autonomes. Mais qu'en est-il de l'homme? Dans cette nouvelle biographie complète, John Ibbitson explore la vie du Canadien le plus influent de notre époque: sa jeunesse en banlieue de Toronto; la crise existentielle qui l'a poussé à quitter l'université pendant trois ans; les forces qui ont façonné sa relation tumultueuse avec le chef du Parti réformiste Preston Manning; l'influence de sa femme, Laureen Harper; son dévouement envers ses enfants. Grâce à un accès inégalé à des sources, à des années de recherche et à une perspicacité qui a fait de lui l'une des voix les plus respectées du journalisme canadien, John Ibbitson présente un portrait intime et détaillé d'un homme qui demeure une énigme pour ses partisans aussi bien que pour ses ennemis. 2015.

of understanding their true emotions but also of identifying their true motivation. The authors share their highly successful READ (Review, Evaluate, Analyze, Decide) system of understanding body language, but with an exciting twist: they give you the skills to use READ to see what's behind those eye movements, gestures, and twitches, the skills to go inside the head of your source! Why stop at "what" when you can go all the way to "why"--the driving force behind the actions; discover how to get past your filters so you aren't tricked by your own misperceptions; and learn how to apply the skills in business and in your personal life. 2017.By Dennis Merritt Jones. 2018
Whether we're striving for a new job, a higher salary, or a better relationship, Dennis Merritt Jones explains that we…
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.By Amanda Lang. 2017
Truly successful people don’t merely tolerate discomfort - they embrace it and seek it out again and again. Business founders…
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.By Malcolm Constable, Charles F Kiefer. 2013
