Découvrez votre capacité à accueillir vos émotions et à les transformer, pour mieux vivre.Chaque jour, nous brassons des centaines de pensées, d'émotions, de croyances et d'expériences. Qu'en faisons-nous réellement ? Nous sont-elles profitables ?Tandis que la pensée positive et l'évitement, souvent préconisés, masquent ces pensées et ces émotions, l'agilité émotionnelle est la capacité de comprendre nos états émotionnels, surtout les plus négatifs, pour tirer partie d'eux et aller de l'avant.
Par exemple : être stressé => ressentir ce stress => l'accepter => s'en détacher puis agir pour le dépasser, en accord avec nos valeurs et nos objectifs.
Cette agilité émotionnelle créée notre adaptabilité, renforce notre capacité au changement, nous conduit à atteindre nos buts.
L'agilité émotionnelle, l'alternative au modèle de la pensée positive.
Didactique et accessible, ce livre comprend 4 parties qui sont autant d'étapes pour apprendre à passer d'un état de bloquage des émotions à un stade ultime d'épanouissement personnel.
Le point de vue de l'auteur est totalement inédit : Susan David s'oppose farouchement à la pensée positive : gommer, masquer nos émotions négatives, les travestir en pensées positives est une grossière erreur, car elles sont le signal d'un ressenti important, une base forte sur laquelle travailler sur soi pour avancer et réussir dans la vie. Ainsi, ressentir de la colère est le signal qu'une situation nous tient suffisamment à coeur pour ne pas nier cette émotion, l'accepter, la transformer en action et la dépasser.
Notre chemin vers plus de bien-être et d'épanouissement n'est pas rectiligne, ceux qui sont agiles émotionnellement parviennent à prendre les virages et venir à bout des nombreux détours que la vie leur réserve.

This book illustrates an alternative approach to `state of sustainability' reporting by presenting cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary discussions on sustainability issues in the context of a developing country, Botswana. The book volume illustrates how academic publishing can supplement African governments' existing forms of reporting on sustainability by providing on-ground detailed descriptions and experiences relating to achievement of the various sustainable development goals (SDGs). In addition, this process involves, increases and enhances diversity of stakeholders that report on sustainability. Furthermore, the approach resonates with the UN's recommendation to build local strategies for implementation of the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Conventional reporting on sustainability by most African countries is an exercise that is customarily the preserve of designated government ministries. While this form of reporting provides a consistent platformfor tracking sustainable development goals, it can also benefit from juxtaposition with in-depth descriptions and experiences provided by academic publishing. Academia, through publishing, provides a framework for on-ground situation-analysis as well as in-depth descriptions of African country's grass-root experiences, thus allowing for temporal tracking of sustainable development milestones. As this volume illustrates, experiences from the various contributors on this volume highlight different points of departure towards achieving the 2030 agenda. Topics covered include biodiversity, water management, world heritage, environment, education, tourism, gender, institutional approaches to achievement of SDGs, as well as contribution of non-governmental organisations (NGO)'s amongst others.
Le 8 juillet 1913, Louis Hémon était victime d'un accident mortel à Chapleau (Ontario). Son roman le plus connu, Maria Chapdelaine, paraît de manière posthume, en 1914, en feuilleton, dans Le Temps de Paris. C'est dans ce format que le découvre Louvigny de Montigny, poète, critique et auteur dramatique, qui en prépare alors une édition imprimée à Montréal en 1916, cinq ans avant que Grasset n'en rachète les droits et ne le publie finalement sous forme de livre à Paris en 1921. Un recueil de nouvelles et trois autres romans suivront : La belle que voilà (1923), Colin-Maillard (1924), Battling Malone, pugiliste (1926) et Monsieur Ripois et la Némésis (1950). Puis, au fil des recherches menées par les critiques et les universitaires, nous parviennent d'autres ouvrages : Lettres à sa famille (1968), Récits sportifs (1982), Itinéraire de Liverpool à Québec (1985), Nouvelles londoniennes (1991), Écrits sur le Québec (1993) et Au pied de la lettre (2003). En 1980, Nicole Deschamps publie la première édition critique de Maria Chapdelaine[1] et, entre 1990 et 1995, paraissent les Oeuvres complètes en trois volumes, travail réalisé par Aurélien Boivin[2].
Curieuse carrière que celle de Louis Hémon, qui partage son temps entre trois pays, la France, l'Angleterre et le Canada ; qui, installé à Londres, publie chroniques, récits et nouvelles dans les journaux parisiens et écrit des romans qui ne paraîtront pas, soit parce que les éditeurs les auront refusés, soit parce que la famille les aura soustraits au champ littéraire pour protéger une réputation de bien-pensant largement surfaite[3]. C'est sans doute en grande partie grâce au succès québécois de Maria Chapdelaine que l'oeuvre de Louis Hémon aura survécu au temps, mais c'est aussi ce succès qui a en quelque sorte figé l'auteur dans cet unique roman et ses nombreux palimpsestes. Parce qu'il fut publié le premier, on oublie souvent que Maria Chapdelaine a été le dernier roman écrit par l'auteur. C'est donc à l'aune de cet ultime ouvrage que tous les autres seront lus et relus, de manière rétrospective... quand ils le seront.
