Les écrans se sont invités partout dans nos vies, et dans celles de nos enfants. Ils s'interposent dans les repas, les conversations, les moments de repos, et génèrent tensions, conflits et fatigue. Face à ce fléau, nombreux sont les parents qui se sentent dépassés. Comment poser un cadre sans cris ni culpabilité ? Comment retrouver une vraie qualité de présence en famille ? Dans ce guide éclairant, Bruno Humbeeck propose une méthode simple de déconnexion numérique douce, partagée et accompagnée. Douce parce qu'il n'est pas question d'imposer par la force ce qui peut s'obtenir par la douceur. Accompagnée parce que les renforcements positifs apparaissent plus efficaces que les injonctions autoritaires. Partagée parce que la démarche éducative du parent qui demande à son adolescent de réduire son temps d'écran alors qu'il n'y parvient pas lui-même parait inconsistante. Cet ouvrage est en outre jalonné de tutoriels pour déjouer les automatismes (scrolling, surexposition, impulsivité), mieux gérer son temps d'écran, préserver son sommeil ou prévenir le cyberharcèlement. Par ailleurs, il s'associe à l'application DConnect qui s'attaque à la déconnexion en utilisant précisément les mécanismes qui favorisent notre attrait pour les écrans. Une façon réaliste de maîtriser notre consommation numérique sans rejeter les apports de la modernité.

Pilule miracle : Le livre-révélation sur les nouvelles molécules contre l'obésité

Health, Mind & Body

En janvier 2023, Johann Hari a commencé à s’injecter chaque semaine de l’Ozempic, l’un de ces nouveaux traitements capables de provoquer une perte de poids spectaculaire. Il est loin d’être un cas isolé : selon certaines estimations, d’ici quelques années, un quart des Américains pourraient prendre ce type de médicament. Alors que près de 80 % des régimes échouent, ces traitements permettent à certains de perdre jusqu’à un quart de leur poids en six mois. Pour leurs partisans, c’est une libération face à une condition qui augmente fortement le risque de diabète, de cancer et de mort prématurée.Et pourtant, Hari reste profondément partagé. Ces médicaments sont-ils vraiment aussi efficaces qu’on le prétend ? S’agit-il d’un remède miracle ou d’une illusion ? Pour répondre à cette question essentielle, il a parcouru le monde – d’Islande à Tokyo, en passant par Minneapolis – à la rencontre des plus grands spécialistes du sujet. Il a découvert que, malgré des bénéfices indéniables, ces traitements présentent aussi douze risques majeurs.Mais surtout, cette enquête l’a amené à interroger nos certitudes sur la honte, la volonté, et le sens de la guérison. Que révèlent ces médicaments sur la véritable nature de l’obésité ? Quels troubles psychologiques peuvent surgir lorsque notre rapport à l’alimentation est brusquement bouleversé ? Sont-ils une délivrance ou un nouveau symptôme de notre lien profondément troublé à la nourriture et au corps ?Ces médicaments sont sur le point de transformer nos vies – pour le meilleur ou pour le pire. Il est urgent de comprendre leur fonctionnement, sur le plan scientifique, émotionnel et culturel.Pilule miracle est le guide indispensable d’une révolution déjà en marche – que certains comparent, par son ampleur, à l’arrivée du smartphone.

Stress and Skin Health

Health, Mind & Body

"Stress and Skin Health" explores the profound connection between psychological stress and various skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and hives. It highlights how stress, a prevalent factor in modern life, can trigger or worsen these issues through complex biological pathways.One key insight is the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which, when dysregulated by chronic stress, leads to elevated cortisol levels, negatively impacting skin health. The book also investigates how stress activates inflammatory responses, contributing to skin irritation and impaired barrier function.The book takes a holistic approach, integrating knowledge from psychology, dermatology, and endocrinology to provide a comprehensive view of the mind-body connection. It progresses logically, beginning with the fundamentals of stress physiology and skin structure, then delving into specific mechanisms by which cortisol and inflammation affect different skin conditions.Ultimately, "Stress and Skin Health" emphasizes stress management, providing practical techniques like mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy to improve both psychological well-being and skin health. This approach offers a unique perspective, shifting the focus from solely dermatological treatments to a more integrated approach.

The Yoga of Divine Works

Health, Mind & Body

Sri Aurobindo's philosophy as "an original synthesis of the Indian and Western traditions."-R. Puligandla Sri Aurobindo, Indian philosopher, yogi and guru, created a spiritual practice he called Integral Yoga. The central theme of his vision was the evolution of human life into a divine life. He believed in a spiritual realization that not only liberated but transformed human nature, enabling a divine life on earth. He sought to make us aware of "the same superior law [that] governs matter and spirit".EXCERPT: "ALL YOGA is in its nature a new birth; it is a birth out of the ordinary, the mentalised material life of man into a higher spiritual consciousness and a greater and diviner being. No Yoga can be successfully undertaken and followed unless there is a strong awakening to the necessity of that larger spiritual existence. The soul that is called to this deep and vast inward change, may arrive in different ways to the initial departure. It may come to it by its own natural development which has been leading it unconsciously towards the awakening; it may reach it through the influence of a religion or the attraction of a philosophy; it may approach it by a slow illumination or leap to it by a sudden touch or shock; it may be pushed or led to it by the pressure of outward circumstances or by an inward necessity, by a single word that breaks the seals of the mind or by long reflection, by the distant example of one who has trod the path or by contact and daily influence. According to the nature and the circumstances the call will come."

Are You My Husband?

Health, Mind & Body

In 2019, Richard Adams' wife developed a combination of Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. For four years he has been her full-time carer. He believes he has retained his sanity by getting up early and writing for a couple of hours. It is a kind of therapy, before he goes into the bedroom and announce that he is thinking of getting breakfast. Dementia has robbed his wife the will and the ability to attend to the usual household chores. Sometimes she does not remember who he is. He has slowly come to understand that no one case of dementia is alike, and that there is no one-size-fits-all way of dealing with it. This is his own personal – sometimes very personal – approach. These thirty conversations and reflections record episodes in their relationship and how dementia has impacted upon their lives. He has treated them with honesty and sensitivity, but also with humour, not to make light of what is a difficult experience, but to encourage anyone who is in a similar situation to enjoy a moment of recognition, to smile, even to laugh, but above all to find encouragement, to keep going and be undefeated by the mysterious illness called dementia.
