Votre réussite financière ne dépend pas forcément de vos connaissances. Elle dépend de votre attitude. Or l’attitude n’est pas quelque chose qui s’apprend facilement, même quand on est très intelligent. Le plus souvent, la finance est enseignée comme une discipline mathématique où il suffirait d’entrer des données et d’appliquer des formules pour savoir quoi faire en matière d’investissement, de finances personnelles ou de stratégie économique.
Pourtant, dans la vraie vie, nous ne prenons pas nos décisions financières devant des feuilles de calcul. Nous les prenons à la table du diner familial ou dans une salle de réunion, des lieux où s’entremêlent notre histoire personnelle, une vision du monde qui n’appartient qu’à nous, notre ego, notre fierté, des considérations commerciales et d’étranges motivations. Dans La Psychologie de l’argent, Morgan Housel, auteur plusieurs fois primé, partage dix-neuf histoires courtes dans lesquelles il explore nos façons singulières d’envisager les questions d’argent.
Ce faisant, il nous aide à mieux comprendre l’un des sujets les plus importants de la vie humaine.

Comment faire de notre passé une force d’avenir ? Comment faire de notre passé une force d’avenir ? Enfance, éducation, souvenirs heureux ou traumatiques : notre passé ne passe pas. Il est toujours présent. Il nous appartient alors d’établir une relation apaisée et féconde avec notre mémoire. Celle-ci n’est pas, comme on le pense souvent, un stock de données. Les neurosciences nous apprennent, au contraire, que la mémoire est dynamique, mouvante. Nos souvenirs ne sont pas figés, ils s’apparentent à une partition à interpréter. Notre rapport au passé doit être repensé. En convoquant sciences cognitives, nouvelles thérapies, sagesses de la philosophie, de la littérature ou du cinéma, Charles Pépin nous montre que nous pouvons entretenir un rapport libre, créatif, avec notre héritage. » Une exploration stimulante de la réinvention de la mémoire et des souvenirs. » Philosophie magazine » Charles Pépin a cette manière tout à fait singulière de rendre la philosophie accessible, en partant de questions que tout le monde se pose. » L’Echo Egalement chez Pocket : Les Vertus de l’échec , La Confiance en soi et La Rencontre .
Obtenez ce que vous voulez en manipulant le talon d’Achille de chacun : l’insatiable besoin de plaisir. La séduction est la forme la plus aboutie mais aussi la plus subtile, la plus intelligente du pouvoir. En amour ou en politique, ceux qui réussissent connaissent les rouages de la séduction, un art, en somme, universel, inébranlable. De Freud à Kierkegaard ou d’Ovide à Casanova, Robert Greene tire de la littérature la quintessence de l’Art de la Séduction, en s’appuyant sur les vies fascinantes des grands personnages de l’Histoire du monde. Il identifie les lois d’un jeu impitoyable et intemporel pour ensorceler et contraindre votre adversaire à capituler. Il vous faudra d’abord créer du désir chez votre victime, jouer avec ses sentiments en alternant Plaisir et Confusion, puis vous faire désirer toujours plus pour enfin exécuter les dernières notes de votre triomphe. Amoral et Captivant !
It’s wrecked the careers of promising young geniuses. It’s evaporated great fortunes and run companies into the ground. It’s made adversity unbearable and turned struggle into shame. Every great philosopher has warned against it, in our most lasting stories and countless works of art, in all culture and all ages. Its name? Ego, and it is the enemy – of ambition, of success and of resilience. In Ego is the Enemy, Ryan Holiday shows us how and why ego is such a powerful internal opponent to be guarded against at all stages of our careers and lives, and that we can only create our best work when we identify, acknowledge and disarm its dangers. Drawing on an array of inspiring characters and narratives from literature, philosophy and history, the book explores the nature and dangers of ego to illustrate how you can be humble in your aspirations, gracious in your success and resilient in your failures. The result is an inspiring and timely reminder that humility and confidence are our greatest friends when confronting the challenges of a culture that tends to fan the flames of ego, a book full of themes and life lessons that will resonate, uplift and inspire.
