#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Ce ''P'tits docs'' retrace l'histoire de ce monument parisien si connu. Inaugurée lors de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, elle était le plus haut bâtiment existant de l'époque. La tour devait être démontée, mais Gustave Eiffel l'a sauvée en en faisant un paratonnerre. Elle a aussi servi d'antenne radio pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, puis de radio grand public plus tard. Aujourd'hui, les gratte-ciels l'ont dépassée, mais elle fait partie de l'histoire et continue de fasciner petits et grands.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Millions of people have fallen in love with Auggie Pullman, an ordinary boy with an extraordinary face—who shows us that kindness brings us together no matter how far apart we are. Read the book that inspired the Choose Kind movement, a major motion picture, and the critically acclaimed graphic novel White Bird.And don't miss R.J. Palacio's highly anticipated new novel, Pony, available now!I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse.August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid—but his new classmates can’t get past Auggie’s extraordinary face. Beginning from Auggie’s point of view and expanding to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others, the perspectives converge to form a portrait of one community’s struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance. In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope.R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel “a meditation on kindness” —indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, a diamond in the rough who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.

For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world' s top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In this curse-word-free edition of Can' t Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.

Rimini. Adelmo, un ladro stanco e sfortunato, nota una finestra aperta sulla facciata di una ricca palazzina. La tentazione è irresistibile e conduce l'uomo a trovarsi faccia a faccia con Lise, la stravagante padrona di casa, una croupier tedesca che si gode la pensione al mare. Nessuno dei due corrisponde al ruolo che dovrebbero ricoprire e tra violenza e comicità si sviluppa un rapporto strano, bizzarro ma allo stesso tempo complesso e intenso sul piano dei sentimenti. Adelmo cerca di arginare la precarietà che lo sta allontanando da un'esistenza normale, Lise invece è convinta di non avere più crediti da riscuotere dal mondo intero. Sono infinitamente lontani, nulla li accomuna, eppure entrambi cercano il modo di essere compresi e amati dall'altro. Ma l'amore, anche se si regge su ineluttabili fragilità, può essere in grado di soddisfare desideri, salvare esistenze, rimettere a posto le cose. Il cuore di Rimini pulsa tranquillo in attesa dell'arrivo chiassoso dei turisti. Adelmo è felice quando gira in bicicletta nelle vie della sua città cantando a squarciagola. Lise invece sogna che Rimini si stacchi dalla terra e vada alla deriva per l'eternità.
