ON CONNECTION

Kae Tempest
- Faber
- 21 Avril 2022
- 9780571370436
Beneath the surface we are all connected . . . ''An authentically soothing, powerful, thought-provoker.'' MATT HAIG '' On Connection is medicine for these wounded times.'' MAX PORTER '' On Connection came to me when I needed it most, and reminded me that the links we have to places, people, words, ourselves, are what keep us alive.'' CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS This is a book about connection. About how immersing ourselves in creativity can help us cultivate greater self-awareness and bring us closer to each other. Drawing on two decades of experience as a writer and performer, Kae Tempest champions the role of creativity - in whatever form we choose to practice it - as an act of love, helping us establish a deeper relationship to our true selves, and to others and the world we live in. Honest, hopeful and written with piercing clarity, On Connection is an inspiring personal meditation that will transform the way you see the world. ''Persuasive and profound.'' OBSERVER ''Tempest''s prose is crisp and thoughtful.'' NEW STATESMAN

Invisible women : Exposing data bias in a world designed for men

Caroline Criado Perez
- Vintage Books
- 5 Mars 2020
- 9781784706289
THE #3 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Discover the shocking gender bias that affects our everyday lives 'A rallying cry to fight back' Sunday Times 'Press this into the hands of everyone you know. It is utterly brilliant!' Helena Kennedy 'A game-changer; an uncompromising blitz of facts, sad, mad, bad and funny, making an unanswerable case and doing so brilliantly...the ambition and scope - and sheer originality - of Invisible Women is huge' The Times Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued.

If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman.

Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women's lives.

From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media, Invisible Women reveals the biased data that excludes women.

Award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are forgotten, and the impact this has on their health and well-being. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

12 RULES FOR LIFE ; AN ANTIDOTE TO CHAOS

Jordan B. Peterson
- Penguin Uk
- 6 Octobre 2018
- 9780141988511
The #1 Sunday Times and International Bestseller from 'the most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now' ( New York Times ) What are the most valuable things that everyone should know? Acclaimed clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has influenced the modern understanding of personality, and now he has become one of the world's most popular public thinkers, with his lectures on topics from the Bible to romantic relationships to mythology drawing tens of millions of viewers. In an era of unprecedented change and polarizing politics, his frank and refreshing message about the value of individual responsibility and ancient wisdom has resonated around the world. In this book, he provides twelve profound and practical principles for how to live a meaningful life, from setting your house in order before criticising others to comparing yourself to who you were yesterday, not someone else today. Happiness is a pointless goal, he shows us. Instead we must search for meaning, not for its own sake, but as a defence against the suffering that is intrinsic to our existence. Drawing on vivid examples from the author's clinical practice and personal life, cutting edge psychology and philosophy, and lessons from humanity's oldest myths and stories, 12 Rules for Life offers a deeply rewarding antidote to the chaos in our lives: eternal truths applied to our modern problems.

The mushroom at the end of the world : on the possibility of life in capitalist ruins

Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing
- Princeton University Press
- 8 Juin 2021
- 9780691220550
"A poetic and remarkably fertile exploration of the relationship between human beings and the natural environment."-Pankaj Mishra, The Guardian

"I'm very grateful to have this book."-Ursula K. Le Guin

The acclaimed and award-winning book about what a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a fragile planet

A Flavorwire and Times Higher Education Book of the Year

Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world-and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made?

A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction.

By investigating one of the world's most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination into the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth.

How to be queer : An ancient guide to sexuality

Collectif
- Princeton University Press
- 4 Juin 2024
- 9780691248615
The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. Filled with enthralling stories, this anthology invites readers of all sexualities and identities to explore writings that describe many kinds of erotic encounters and feelings, and that envision a playful and passionate approach to sexuality as part of a rich and fulfilling life.

How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros.

Complete with brief introductions to the selections, and with the original Greek on facing pages, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago-that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

How to flourish : An ancient guide to living well

Aristotle
- Princeton University Press
- 20 Juin 2023
- 9780691238623
Aristotle's essential guide to human flourishing?the Nicomachean Ethics?in a lively new abridged translation Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics is one of the greatest guides to human flourishing ever written, but its length and style have left many readers languishing. How to Flourish is a carefully abridged version of the entire work in a highly readable and colloquial new translation by Susan Sauvé Meyer that makes Aristotle's timeless insights about how to lead a good life more engaging and accessible than ever before.

For Aristotle, flourishing involves becoming a good person through practice, and having a life of the mind. To that end, he draws vivid portraits of virtuous and vicious characters and offers sound practical advice about everything from eating and drinking to managing money, controlling anger, getting along with others, and telling jokes. He also distinguishes different kinds of wisdom that are essential to flourishing and offers an unusual perspective on how to appreciate our place in the universe and our relation to the divine.

Omitting Aristotle's digressions and repetitions and overly technical passages, How to Flourish provides connecting commentary that allows readers to follow the continuous line of his thought; it also features the original Greek on facing pages. The result is an inviting and lively version of an essential work about how to flourish and lead a good life.

ASK NOT ; THE KENNEDYS AND THE WOMEN THEY DESTROYED

Maureen Callahan
- Harper Collins Publishers
- 9 Juillet 2024
- 9780008473259
From New York Times bestseller Maureen Callahan, a fierce, character-driven expose of the real Kennedy Curse-the family''s generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhem-and the women who have paid the price for our obsession with Camelot.

For decades, the Kennedy name has been synonymous with wealth, power, and-above all else-integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the Kennedy men''s legacy of physical and psychological abuse of women, part of a tradition of toxic masculinity that spans generations and has ruined untold lives. Through scandal after scandal, the family and their defenders have managed to keep this shameful story out of the spotlight. Now, in Ask Not, bestselling journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys'' hidden history of abuse and exploitation, laying bare their rampant misogyny and restoring women to the center of the dynasty''s story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Mary Richardson, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren''t nearly as well known - but rightfully should be.
Drawing on years of fierce reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled American family, showing how the Kennedy myth and their raw political power has enabled the clan''s many predators while also silencing generations of traumatized women and girls. At long last, Callahan also redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys'' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves-and giving voice to the countless others who could not do the same.

THE HIGH 5 HABIT ; TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE WITH ONE SIMPLE HABIT

Mel Robbins
- Hay house
- 26 Janvier 2023
- 9781788177627
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLER TO HELP YOU OVERCOME ANXIETY AND BECOME MORE CONFIDENT, EFFECTIVE, AND FULFILLED

From Mel Robbins, #1 podcast host, best-selling author and expert on change and motivation.

In her global phenomenon The 5 Second Rule, Mel Robbins taught millions the five second secret to motivation. Now she's back with another simple, proven science-backed tool you can use to take control of your life: The High 5 Habit.

Don't let the title fool you. This isn't a book about high fiving everyone else in your life. You're already doing that. Cheering for your favorite teams. Celebrating your friends. Supporting the people you love as they go after what they want in life.

Imagine if you gave that same love and encouragement to yourself. Or even better, you made it a daily habit.

You'd be unstoppable.

In this encouraging book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.

If you are:

? Struggling with self-doubt (and who doesn't?)...

? Tired of that nagging critic in your head (could somebody evict them already?)...

? Successful but all you focus on is what's going wrong (you're not alone)...

? Sick of watching everybody else get ahead while you sit on the couch with your dog (don't bring your dog into this)...

...Mel dedicates this book to you.

Chapters Include:

You Deserve a High 5 Life

Science Says This Works

I Have a Few Questions...

Why Do I Torture Myself?

Am I Broken?

Where's All This Negative Crap Coming From?

Why Am I Suddenly Seeing Hearts Everywhere?

Why Is Life So Easy for Them and Not Me?

Isn't It Easier If I Say Nothing?

How About I Start . . . Tomorrow?

But Do You Like Me?

How Come I Screw Everything Up?

Can I Actually Handle This?

Okay, You May Not Want to Read This Chapter

Eventually, It Will All Make Sense

It's time to give yourself the high fives, celebration, and support you deserve.

With this book, you'll learn how to:

? Use the High 5 Habit to overcome negative self-talk and limiting beliefs.

? Create a clear vision for your life and set goals that align with your values.

? Take consistent action towards your goals, even when you don't feel like it.

? Develop a mindset of resilience and perseverance.

? Achieve more success and happiness in all areas of your life.

"When I stopped trashing myself and started giving my reflection a high five instead, it was more than an encouraging gesture on a low day. It flipped that self-criticism and self-hatred on its head. It changed the lens through which I viewed my life.

That was the beginning of a massive shift in my life. A line in the sand. The beginning of a brand-new connection to the most important person in my life-myself.

A new way of thinking about myself and about what was possible for me. It inspired me to create an entirely new way of experiencing life. That's why I wrote this book.

It's time to cheer for YOU."

Love,

Mel Robbins

Using her signature science-backed wisdom, deeply personal stories, and the real-life results that The High 5 Habit is creating in people's lives around the world, Mel will teach you how to make believing in yourself a habit so that you have more confidence, transform your mindset, and achieve your dreams.

Siri Hustvedt
- Sceptre
- 13 Juillet 2017
- 9781473638907
Internationally acclaimed as a novelist, Siri Hustvedt is also highly regarded as a writer of non-fiction whose insights are drawn from her broad knowledge in the arts, humanities, and sciences. In this trilogy of works collected in a single volume, Hustvedt brings a feminist, interdisciplinary perspective to a range of subjects. Louise Bourgeois, Pablo Picasso, Susan Sontag and Knut Ove Knausgaard are among those who come under her scrutiny. In the book's central essay, she explores the intractable mind-body problem and in the third section, reflects on the mysteries of hysteria, synesthesia, memory, perception, and the philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard. With clarity, wit, and passion, she exposes gender bias, upends received ideas, and challenges her reader to think again.
