Ceci est un résumé orienté (je ne garde que les parties qui m’intéressent personnellement) de l’article Beat Generosity Burnout de la Harvard Business Review. Les personnes généreuses sont les gens les plus importants de toute organisation, mais c’est aussi ceux qui risquent le plus d’être touchés par un burn-out. Souvent, on confond la générosité et…
gretchenrubin (gretchenrubin.com)I’m working on my next book, which is about how to reach the mind through the body and the five senses—because my mind is my body, and my body is my mind. I was drawn to this subject because I wanted to shake myself awake. Too often, I felt numbed, overwhelmed, or absent-minded–or should I […]
In which I discuss how I’ve replaced my meditation routines with recess and fun, during COVID-19.
In a collection of essays and personal mini-comics that span eight years of his young adult life, author-illustrator ND Stevenson charts the highs and lows of being a creative human in the world.
Whether it’s hearing the wrong name called at his art school graduation ceremony or becoming a National Book Award finalist for his debut graphic novel, Nimona, Nate captures the little and big moments that make up a real life, with a wit, wisdom, and vulnerability that are all his own.
Less than an hour to read, half a day crying afterwards. Congratulations and thank you, ND Stevenson.
As the country grapples with racist division at a level not seen since the 1960s, one man’s voice soars above the rest with conviction and compassion. In his 2016 New York Times op-ed piece « Death in Black and White, » Michael Eric Dyson moved a nation. Now he continues to speak out in Tears We Cannot Stop―a provocative and deeply personal call for change. Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.
The introduction is long. Very long. The format is probably more adapted to Christian readers, and those who don’t know worship will have to be patient and wait for the meatier sections. Once we get there, though, the book has loads of valuable stories and insights to make us understand what’s wrong, and immediately after,…
Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she’s albino. She’s a terrific athlete, but can’t go out into the sun to play soccer. There seems to be no place where she fits in. And then she discovers something amazing–she is a free agent with latent magical power. Soon she’s part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too?
The last time I’ve loved a similar book series so much was Percy Jackson, and that was almost 10 years ago. Akata Witch is well-written, funny and dark when needed. Action scenes are scarce, and well-written; things focus on tradition and on carefully-crafted actions, which I love.
« On ne naît pas homme, on le devient. »
C’est en partant de ce postulat que Valérie Rey-Robert analyse la construction du genre. Selon elle, le principal problème des violences faites aux femmes est la virilité. Elle nous invite à nous questionner sur la socialisation des garçons et des filles, sur la masculinité et sa violence inhérente, sur nos stéréotypes de genre.
Il appartient de déviriliser nos sociétés, pour que les hommes cessent de tuer leurs compagnes et leurs enfants, qu’ils cessent de se tuer entre eux, qu’ils cessent de s’automutiler. Ceci ne pourra passer que par un grand travail de prise de conscience et d’éducation.
Une problématique qui nous engage toutes et tous.
A great guide to most of the arguments against modern Western feminism and what to answer to each of them, with loads of academic sources and concrete numbers to support the reflection.
