La fasciathérapie est une méthode de thérapie manuelle et gestuelle efficace sur le mal de dos, les maux de tête, les douleurs du cou et des épaules ainsi que sur les troubles dus au stress : fatigue, insomnie, désordres digestifs fonctionnels, nervosité. Elle sert à libérer les blocages tenaces, dégager les tensions profondes accumulées, dissoudre les empreintes des traumatismes inscrites sous forme de zones froides, figées, tendues, oubliées. Elle est aussi efficace pour retrouver la stabilité, les appuis et l'ancrage au sol. Longtemps ignorés, les fascias redeviennent d'actualité. Fascias = Faisceaux. Rien à voir avec la face. Telle une vaste toile d'araignée, ils connectent le corps dans son ensemble. Incroyable architecture du vivant, ils structurent, protègent, tonifient, dynamisent, relient le corps, et sont porteurs de la sensibilité globale : une autre manière de saisir le fonctionnement corporel ! Cette nouvelle pratique est une aide précieuse pour comprendre et mieux percevoir les « messages corporels », et utile pour ceux qui pratiquent le sport, la danse et la méditation.

Your Head is a Houseboat is a uniquely hilarious guide to what goes on in your brain, from illustration sensation Campbell Walker aka Struthless.

The only truth we really know is that we're going to spend the rest of our lives in our own houseboat (our head) so it makes sense to make that houseboat as good as possible. The houseboat needs cleaning and maintenance, and it shouldn't be weighed down by junk (our own thoughts and other people's opinions). It has an unreliable and overworked Sea Captain, and a zoo of animalistic desires below the deck who are really steering. But it's your houseboat, so it's probably time for you to cast away and set sail (is that even how houseboats work?) on a journey to understanding it.

In Your Head is a Houseboat, Cam demystifies brain functions, mental health, emotions, mindfulness and psychology – but with less complex terminology and more bizarre metaphors. It's a book filled with illustrations, journal exercises and words that will probably hit too close to home. At its core, this is a funny, accessible approach to understanding your head and making it a nicer place to live.

A visual pep talk of charts and essays on feeling better about not feeling better.

Maybe This Will Help is one part the funny and relatable graphs that fans of Am I Overthinking This? and of Michelle Rial know and love, and one part the honest stories behind what makes those graphs so poignant. Michelle Rial brings to light her struggles with chronic pain, grief, and creative uncertainty in a way that reflects the universality of dealing with the unthinkable. Equal parts funny and moving, this book delves into the more serious side of things, finding levity and collective experience in the invisible difficulties that so many of us face. Through humorous charts and intimate peeks into the author's life, it explores the big things that can feel unmanageable and the everyday humor that keeps us moving forward.

This book serves as an artful and loving reminder: it's OK to put yourself first.

In his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults – a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognize the suffering, bullying, and abuse he’d endured. And that was the beginning of Marc’s awareness that what he was going through was temporary. He wasn’t alone, he wasn’t stuck on a timeline, and he wasn’t “wrong” to feel scared, isolated, and angry. Now, best of all, he could do something about it.

In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional well-being. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and fast-effect approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate, and enhance academic achievement. This book is the culmination of Marc’s development of RULER and his way to share the strategies and skills with readers around the world. It is tested, and it works.

This book combines rigor, science, passion and inspiration in equal parts. Too many children and adults are suffering; they are ashamed of their feelings and emotionally unskilled, but they don’t have to be. Marc Brackett’s life mission is to reverse this course, and this book can show you how.

Lorsque l'on parvient à trouver son équilibre, on peut accomplir des choses stupéfiantes : créer, se produire sur scène, diriger une équipe, fonder une grande entreprise, élever une famille. Mais quand cet équilibre vacille, nous laissons bien trop souvent le stress nous envahir.

Michael Townsend Williams, ex-publicitaire reconverti dans le yoga et le coaching en pleine conscience, se fait le champion du « bien-faire », prônant une vie riche et productive, mais pas aux dépens de notre santé et de notre bien-être. La clé de tout cela ? Notre souffle.

À vingt-quatre ans, souffrant d'anxiété et de dépression, Matt Haig s'est retrouvé au bord d'une falaise, les pieds à moitié dans le vide, sur le point de se précipiter... Rester en vie : cela paraît si difficile à celles et ceux qui sont au fond de l'abîme, qui ne voient poindre aucune lueur.

Ce livre vif et sensible, plein d'humour aussi, raconte les batailles que l'auteur a menées pour comprendre ce qui lui arrivait, le partager avec les autres (pas toujours compréhensifs) et se mettre sur le chemin de la guérison. En cinq chapitres - Tomber, Atterrir, Se relever, Vivre, Être -, Matt Haig explique avec sincérité comment il a progressivement vaincu sa maladie et trouvé le bout du tunnel. Car les raisons de rester en vie sont nombreuses, et détaillées ici avec force et optimisme.

Ouvrir ce livre, c'est entamer une exploration joyeuse des façons d'exister, d'aimer mieux, de se sentir plus vivant.

So often, we exhaust ourselves and the planet in a search for very large pleasures - while all around us lies a wealth of small pleasures, which - if only we paid more attention - could daily bring us solace and joy at little cost and effort. But we need some encouragement to focus our gaze.

This is a book to guide us to the best of life's small pleasures: everything from the distinctive delight of holding a child's hand to the enjoyment of disagreeing with someone, to the joy of the evening sky; an intriguing, evocative mix of small pleasures that will heighten our senses and return us to the world with new-found excitement and enthusiasm.
