Croissance personnelle

La grâce de l'imperfection

Brené Brown
Vivre sans réserve, c'est s'engager dans sa propre existence avec dignité. C'est cultiver le courage, la compassion, la connexion et pouvoir se lever le matin en pensant : «Peu importe ce qui sera fait aujourd'hui et ce qui ne le sera pas encore, je suis à la hauteur.» C'est aller au lit le soir en se disant : «Oui, je suis imparfait et vulnérable, et même parfois effrayé, mais cela ne change rien au fait que je suis également courageux, digne d'amour et d'appartenance.»

Imparfaits, libres et heureux

Christophe André
Ne plus se soucier de l'effet que l'on fait sur les autres. Agir sans craindre ni l'échec ni le jugement. Ne plus trembler à l'idée du rejet. Et trouver tranquillement sa place au milieu des autres. Ce livre va vous aider à avancer sur le chemin de l'estime de soi. À la construire, la réparer, la protéger. Il va vous aider à vous accepter et à vous aimer même imparfait. Non pour vous résigner, mais pour mieux évoluer. Pour être enfin vous-même imparfait, mais libre et heureux.

L'Art subtil de s'en foutre : un guide à contre-courant pour être soi-même

Mark Manson
« Voyons les choses en face. Parfois, tout va de travers et nous devons l'accepter. » Se fondant sur des recherches scientifiques et ponctuant son récit de blagues bien placées, Mark Manson affirme que les êtres humains sont limités et imparfaits : « Ce n'est pas tout le monde qui peut être extraordinaire, il y a des gagnants et des perdants dans la société, et c'est parfois injuste tout en n'étant pas de votre faute. Manson nous offre à point nommé un discours réconfortant, rempli d'anecdotes amusantes teintées d'un humour cynique et impitoyable.

Dans un style vivant et plein d'esprit, le Dr Serge Marquis vous invite à observer les mouvements de votre ego. À vous amuser de ses pitreries. Puis, à ralentir pour trouver la paix. Étape par étape, l'auteur vous guide dans une aventure inattendue, celle de la décroissance personnelle. Une démarche à contre-courant à la fois divertissante et libératrice. Car un petit pas de moins pour Pensouillard, c'est un grand pas de plus pour vous.

You do You

Sarah Knight

You can do it without losing friends and alienating people. Knight delivers her trademark no-bullsh*t advice about: the Tyranny of "Just Because", the social contract and how to amend it, turning "flaws" into strengths--aka "mental redecorating", why it's not your job to be nice, letting your freak flag fly, how to take risks, silence the doubters, and prove the haters wrong.

You Are Not So Smart

David McRaney
Whether you’re deciding which smartphone to purchase or which politician to believe, you think you are a rational being whose every decision is based on cool, detached logic. But here’s the truth: You are not so smart. You’re just as deluded as the rest of us—but that’s okay, because being deluded is part of being human. You Are Not So Smart reveals that every decision we make, every thought we contemplate, and every emotion we feel comes with a story we tell ourselves to explain them. But often these stories aren’t true. Bringing together popular science and psychology with humor and wit, You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of our irrational, thoroughly human behavior.
