\"Balancing-Acts---Daniel-Lamarre\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Balancing Acts: Unleashing the Power of Creativity in Your Life and Work by Daniel Lamarre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting from nothing, Daniel Lamarre chose to abandon his dreams of journalism to embark on a more lucrative career, advertising. But the day he was offered to join the mythical Cirque du Soleil, he didn’t hesitate for a second. However, its beginnings in this new universe were not easy: how to go from a traditional company to one of the most innovative and prosperous organizations in the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From last-minute additions to technological prowess, through the reunion of Paul, Ringo, George and Yoko Ono for the production of the show The Beatles LOVE, Daniel Lamarre opens the doors to a protean artistic world as abundant as offbeat. Through his extraordinary journey, he encourages us to reveal our creativity, through imagination and spontaneity, the shortest path to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Start-With-Why-by-Simon-Sinek\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Start With Why by Simon Sinek<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting a business is never easy. Even less find the reason for it. This book will help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Sinek is the leader of a movement that aims to build a world in which the majority of people are inspired by the work they do. You’ve probably seen his video on TED.com about the importance of knowing why we do what we do. “Start with why” takes this concept much further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any person or organization is able to explain what they do; some can explain how they are different from others, but very few manage to clearly articulate why. The WHY has nothing to do with money and profits, it is the results that count. The WHY is the reason that inspires us and also inspires the people around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Martin Luther King to Steve Jobs to the Wright Brothers, Start With Why demonstrates that leaders who know how to inspire people all think, act and communicate the same way, a way diametrically opposed to that of everyone else. Filled with a wide range of real-life stories, this book provides a structure for building organizations, leading movements and inspiring people, all from WHY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Are Awesome: How to Navigate Change, Wrestle with Failure, and Live an Intentional Life by Neil Pasricha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It was during a virtual meeting with Nespresso that I had the chance to meet Neil Pasricha. If you don’t know him, he’s a New York Times million bestselling author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation series, a thought leader, and one of the most popular TED speakers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book was a revelation for me, and really did me good. It’s amazing how inspiring it is that changes the way we view failure and help us build resilience. If you are in a bad mood, this book will help you I am sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"For-the-Love-of-Men---Elizabeth-Plank\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For the Love of Men: From Toxic to a More Mindful Masculinity by Elizabeth Plank<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While great strides have been made in challenging gender stereotypes and expectations of women, the same progress has not been made among men. With optimism and humour, Ms. Plank opens the dialogue and offers an intelligent, relevant and very researched guide on how it is possible to redefine masculinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing women who seek to guide men in their lives, men who want to do better but don’t know how, and parents who want to raise good human beings, For the Love of Men helps to better understand the issues of masculinity in a changing society where, however, the roles in which men are confined change little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A work by the Quebecer that will undoubtedly make us all better gentlemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The-Psychology-of-Money---Morgan-Housel\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Psychology of Money: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness by Morgan Housel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money\u2014investing, personal finance, and business decisions\u2014is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The-Fire-Next-Time---James-Baldwin\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation, gave a passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement\u2014and still lights the way to understanding race in America today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin’s early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document from the iconic author of If Beale Street Could Talk and Go Tell It on the Mountain. It consists of two “letters,” written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, which exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A-Promised-Land-by-Barack-Obama\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A Promised Land by Barack Obama<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making\u2014from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to the leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency\u2014a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective\u2014the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stake decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Will-by-Will-Smith\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Will by Will Smith<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Will Smith’s transformation from a West Philadelphia kid to one of the biggest rap stars of his era, and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, is an epic tale\u2014but it’s only half the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn’t see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn’t signed up for. It turned out Will Smith’s education wasn’t nearly over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one person mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The-Underground-Railroad---Colson-Whitehead\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this #1 New York Times bestseller chronicles a young slave’s adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. The basis for the acclaimed original Amazon Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood\u2014where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Colson Whitehead’s ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman’s will to escape the horrors of bondage\u2014and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
