This is the first and only book for uncles and aunts who want to have a positive and lasting impact on their sibilings’ children. Uncle: The Definitive Guide for Becoming the World’s Greatest Aunt or Uncle celebrates the unique, indispensable and slightly zany role of aunts and uncles in our society.  It helps aunts and uncles realize their role through a collection nearly 190 fun and whacky activities that nieces and nephews need to master to grow up as great kids:  things that the grandparents have forgotten and that the parents wouldn’t ever think to teach.  Show them how to scream, “Haaaaaaay!” while Dad is driving past a farm. Turn an orange peel into teeth that would scare a dentist away from her drill. Or spend time hanging out doing the fine art of nothing. The Uncle: The Definitive Guide for Becoming the World’s Greatest Aunt or Uncle will appeal to anyone who has an endearing aunt or uncle, whether blood relative or a revered unofficial aunt or uncle, or scoutmasters and other adults who get to engage kids in fun and useful activities. It’s a far better birthday gift than another tie.

Trois grandes amies – Louise Portal, Christiane Pasquier et Marie-Lou Dion – se remémorent l'année 1975, où elles jouèrent ensemble dans Madeleine de Verchères au Théâtre La Marjolaine, en plus de cohabiter dans le même chalet. Un été brûlant, tant sur les planches que dans l'intimité de leur petit refuge, où elles recevaient les princes de la nuit… Un été pendant lequel, surtout, des liens forts se sont noués entre elles. Dans trois récits vibrants, chacune remonte le fil du temps, dans les entrelacements de ce que la vie, l'amour et le métier lui a réservé ; chacune témoigne des sentiers amoureux et créatifs qu'elle a empruntés, ainsi que de cinquante ans d'amitié. Aussi proches que différentes, ces trois femmes révèlent ce qui les a portées toutes ces décennies, ce qui les unit et ce qui leur donne, encore et toujours, envie de célébrer la vie.

Working to make the world a more hopeful and sustainable place often means having to confront pain, suffering, crisis, and trauma head-on, day in and day out. Over months and years this takes an enormous emotional, psychological, and physical toll, one that we’re often not even fully aware of until the day we feel like we just can’t go on anymore. And our well-being and the work we’re doing are too important to risk that happening. This book is for all those who notice that they are not the people they once were or who are being told that by their families, friends, colleagues, or pets. Laura van Dernoot Lipsky takes a deep and sympathetic look at the many ways the stress of dealing with trauma manifests itself: feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, diminished creativity, chronic exhaustion, cynicism, and a dozen more. To keep from being overwhelmed, we need to respond to suffering in a thoughtful, intentional way—not by hardening our hearts or by internalizing others’ struggles as our own but by developing a quality of compassionate presence. This is trauma stewardship. To help achieve this, Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices, drawn from modern psychology and a range of spiritual traditions, that enable us to look carefully at our reactions and motivations and discover new sources of energy and renewal. She includes interviews with successful trauma stewards from different walks of life and even uses New Yorker cartoons to illustrate her points.“We can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve,” Lipsky writes. “Taking care of ourselves while taking care of others allows us to contribute to our societies with such impact that we will leave a legacy informed by our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of burdened by our struggles and despair.”
