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.By Werner Meidinger. 2001

An essential overview of the science behind stereotypes: from why our brains form them to how recognizing them can help…
us be less biased. From the time we're babies, our brains constantly sort and label the world around us --- a skill that's crucial for our survival. But, as adolescents are all too aware, there's a tremendous downside: when we do this to groups of people it can cause great harm. Here's a comprehensive introduction to the science behind stereotypes that will help young people make sense of why we classify people, and how we can change our thinking. It covers the history of identifying stereotypes, secret biases in our brains, and how stereotypes affect our sense of self. Most importantly, it covers current research into how science can help us overcome our biases, offering hope for a future where stereotypes are less prevalent and the world is more fair for everyone. Written by award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi, this timely and hopeful book addresses the issues of discrimination, racism, sexism, ableism and homophobia and offers concrete suggestions on how to make change. It uses scientific inquiry and loads of relatable and interesting examples to explore these uncomfortable topics in age-appropriate and engaging ways. Chapters, sidebars and colorful illustrations break the text into manageable chunks. Besides the many ways this book could be used to inspire frank and in-depth discussions on the importance of addressing stereotypes and bias, it also links to many science and social studies curriculum topics. Backmatter includes an extensive list of sources, suggestions for further reading and an index.A fun and tasty guide to baking with little chefs ages 1 to 4 If your little one is curious…
