Est-ce que vous êtes du genre à vous dire "je fais la vaisselle ce soir” ou "ça sera un problème pour le moi de demain" ? Est-ce qu'il vaut mieux anticiper pour le soi du futur ou profiter d'être bien dans l'instant ? Qu'est-ce que cela raconte de notre rapport à nous-même, au soin qu'on se donne – ou pas ?Dans cet épisode, Marie Misset fait entendre les témoignages de Gaëlle, Barbara, Jordan, Mathilde et Valou, qui ont des degrés divers d'organisation et de procrastination, et d'Axel Allétru, pilote automobile paralysé après un accident en 2010, ce qui a bouleversé l'image des “sois possibles” qu'il avait envisagés. Pour parler de projection dans le futur, elle interroge Sophie Brunot, enseignante-chercheuse en psychologie sociale à l'Université Rennes 2, co-autrice d'une étude sur le rôle de l'estime de soi dans le sentiment de continuité de soi.Pour aller plus loin : Le film The Substance de Coralie FargeatLe roman Bien-être de Nathan Hill (éditions Gallimard)L'ouvrage Le temps psychologique en questions de Simon Grondin (Presses de l'Université Laval) L'ouvrage La confiance en soi de Charles Pépin (éditions Allary)Le documentaire “Holeshot.

Après avoir pisté les loups, il piste les castors et les rivières. Le penseur-pisteur Baptiste Morizot nous explique pourquoi le castor est notre allié dans un monde assoiffé.

Littérature étrangère avec Gorian Delpâture : "Bien-être" de Nathan Hill (Gallimard). À l'aube des années 1990 à Chicago, en pleine bohème artistique, un homme et une femme vivent l'un en face de l'autre et s'épient en cachette. Rien ne semble les relier - elle est étudiante en psychologie, lui photographe rebelle. Mais lorsqu'ils se rencontrent enfin, le charme opère et l'histoire d'amour démarre aussitôt entre Elizabeth et Jack. Ils ont la vie devant eux et, même si leurs rêves et leurs milieux divergent, ils sont convaincus que leur amour résistera à l'épreuve du temps. Mais qu'en est-il vingt ans plus tard ? Une fois que le couple s'est embourgeoisé, qu'il se débat avec un fils tyrannique, que le désir s'éteint à petit feu et que les rêves s'oublient ? L'achat d'un appartement sur plan devient alors le révélateur de tous les désaccords entre Elizabeth et Jack. Au fond, étaient-ils faits l'un pour l'autre ?

Certainty or Creativity - which will you choose?This week, Nathan Hill's novel “Wellness” serves as a springboard for Laura's spark. The specific line that ignited our conversation? "You can choose to be certain or you can choose to be alive." We'll discuss how this notion impacts all our creative journeys and share wisdom from playwright Stephen Karam on the price of admission for love and artistry.This episode marks the launch of Season 5 with a fresh approach—shorter, more frequent episodes designed to keep your creative sparks burning. Join us as we explore how the need for certainty can hold us back in love and creativity, and how embracing uncertainty can fuel growth and transformation. And consider the scientifically proven placebo effect…just the belief in positive outcomes can lead to positive outcomes. What might happen if we approached our creative work with optimism, hope, and a belief in positive outcomes?Jump back into The Spark File and discover how you can connect with us to turn your sparks of inspiration into a bonfire of creativity!Doors are now open for our next ILLUME cohort. ILLUME is our 9 month mastermind in creativity focusing on completing your creative work while learning the skills you need to successfully launch your project into the world.

Man told me about how he crocheted as a kid in Cape Verde and Holland. He had nothing to do. No tv. Needed something to entertain himself so he taught himself. Sister knew but couldn't teach him. It wasn't a normal thing for boys in holland. Or girls as far as he knew and they didn't teach it in school but he had fond memories of it. Great chat learning about his travels and his work as a union carpenter now. KAL News Pigskin Party '24 will kick off in the fall (specific date TBD).

Keep an eye out for that if you want the full story of my parents car accident and April and everything that's happened since our last recording in February. Health Update Video Part 1 Health Update Video Part 2 On a Happy Note Mom, Megg, Kris and I went to see Come From Away in Boston I helped Dan build a shed for his brother and then relaxed in the pool at my parents once we were done (and good and sweaty). I pressure washed the house and the deck- it's currently covered in pollen but at least I got the worst of it off. It's such a satisfying chore! Mom and I went to Aila's voice recital and out for drinks after. I brought my grandmother to my cousin Jenny's daughter Vera's Baptism Party. Beautiful day! Celebrated my birthday at a local Irish Pub for live Irish music. Dan treated us all for dinner. My parents, Megg, Tom (who is from Ireland) and their friend David (visiting from Ireland), Megg's Mom Terri, Trish and Liz. Very fun, silly night as usual. Megg and I weren't doing gifts this year because of our Opera House season tickets but I made her socks in March and she brought me a beautiful plant! We all went back to Megg and Tom's after which was fun because I got to see Eme, Oisin and Hattie too. The boys made lobster for David who hadn't tried New England Lobster before. After the most stressful and hellish week at work I've had in 22 years, I convinced the directors in charge of my Nurse Call Integration project that it was too unstable and had to be shut down so while it was awful, it was done in little more than 3 days. Thankfully, none of the blame was on me (didn't make it feel that much better). Vendor was woefully unprepared and mismanaged things. On that Friday, my boss told me to leave early. I met up with Dan for lunch at The Galley in Scituate. Sitting in the window/door until a huge storm blew in and they had to close it up. June 11th- my cousin Colleen had her baby boy- Owen (not on my birthday but soo close) June 12th- my nephew Garret graduated from 8th Grade and my Mom (and Dad) were there for it! June 14th- Conor and Carly welcomed their baby boy Miles. I did the stage decorations and played house manager in the last ever Terri's School of Dance recital. We had a party at Kris' house after. Father's Day Pool Party- Dan taught Garret and his friend Terry how to properly shuck a lobster. We played games and swam a little in the pool. My cousin Gayle flew in from FL and joined us for the recital and Father's Day fun. I had Monday off and headed over to Mom and Dad's. Jenny and Vera were there, and Millie never left. We swam, played Tock, and went to Heidi's for an ice cream. On Juneteenth- I hit the gym then took Millie and Riley to get their nails done, then took Gayle to Athleta, swam a bit. Dan, Jeff and Melissa came over and we all had dinner together by the pool. Quote of the Week As soon as I have a deadline, I work much better. Time unbounded is hard to handle. –May Sarton —— Thank you for tuning in! Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

Nach seinem erfolgreichen Debütroman "Geister" meldet Nathan Hill sich mit "Wellness" zurück und beweist erneut sein Können. Von WDR2.
In this edition of arts24, we met the author being called the best new writer of fiction in America. Nathan Hill's first novel "The Nix" in 2016 was named one of the books of the year and optioned for a TV series with Meryl Streep. He's in Paris as his second, "Wellness", is being translated into French by publishing house Gallimard. It's a look at modern love and marriage, society's pursuit of health and happiness, and the stories we tell ourselves. Nathan Hill talks to Eve Jackson about being picked for Oprah Winfrey's book club, modern-day marriage with mention of polyamory and why love is a verb.

On a Happy Note Dan and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary on May 22nd- the 143rd day of the year (which happened in 2024 only because its a Leap Year- usually Day 143 is May 23rd). Minot's Light Lighthouse's light signal, a 1-4-3 flashing cycle adopted in 1894, is locally referred to as "I LOVE YOU" (1-4-3 being the number of letters in that phrase), and it is often cited as such by romantic couples within its range. Friday of Memorial Day Weekend we went out for dinner (to use up a gift card- which we still had $1 left on when we left) and to a friends' house for a fire. Saturday & Sunday pool days My niece Riley got her learner's permit and drove us home from the grocery store! Teddy and the snorkel (so cute) Baby Vera's first swim The long weekend allowed me the extra day off to clean out our pantry and my closet. I switched out my winter clothes for summer ones, took donations to Savers and did shopping and meal prep for the week. It felt great. Deer and turtles abound! Quote of the Week Writer and designer Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, on what causes old age: "The producer of old age is habit: the deathly process of doing the same thing in the same way at the same hour day after day, first from carelessness, then from inclination, at last from cowardice or inertia. Habit is necessary; but it is the habit of having careless habits, of turning a trail into a rut, that must be incessantly fought against if one is to remain alive... one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways."

Wellness by Nathan Hill is a book that explores all elements of relationships. This book was very interesting to discuss because there was a lot to dissect and not everyone in the book club had the same opinions. That's what makes book club interesting.

Have you liked a novel so much that you highlight, underline, and stick post-it notes all over the pages? Well...Chelsea made Kathy read the book Wellness by Nathan Hill and they are here to talk about it. Wellness is a layered, slow burn, page turner of a book which warrants you to have a pencil and/or highlighter at the ready. There are a ton of juicy tidbits that you'll want to go back and read over and over again. Kathy and Chelsea both share their favorite sections of the book. Chelsea discusses the dysfunctional relationship between Jack and his mother Ruth and how she resonates with the dynamic between the two. Kathy shares her thoughts on the Wellness clinic which is all about the placebo effect (or as Elizabeth likes to call it "the meaning effect"). Tune in and find out why Kathy and Chelsea love the book so much and highly recommend you read it now. You'll also discover why Chelsea was personally affected by the mother/son relationship and what part of the book actually blew Kathy's mind.

I Like Your Work: Conversations with Artists, Curators & Collectors
Happy 2024! In this episode, I discuss a recent book I read, Wellness, by Nathan Hill. In the book we follow an artist from his days studying art at SAIC in the nineties to 2012. I was intrigued and appalled by the technology shift and how it has impacted artists. I deal with it daily. In this episode, I discuss those shifts but also what has stayed the same and how we can use that as we move forward. I also invite you to check out my free gift! A Goal Setting Workshop for Artists. I loved creating this workshop for you that includes a video lecture and downloadable worksheets to help you discover what goals will truly serve you and how to achieve them. I hope you enjoy it!

Nathan Hill first came on the show in 2017 with his ¬best-selling debut novel, The Nix, which was named the #1 book of the year by Audible and Entertainment Weekly, and one of the year's best books by The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, Slate, and many others. Wellness came out this year. It's also a New York Times bestseller and was selected by Oprah Winfrey for her book club in September. Nathan joins Marrie Stone to talk about it, along with how his characters reveal themselves to him, how he manages time in a novel, how he weaves copious amounts of research into the narrative, how he plays with unconventional points of view, and much more. He also shares his thoughts on getting an MFA, how he found his agent, and his advice to aspiring novelists who feel stuck on the outside of the publishing industry. Along the way, the conversation references an article Nathan wrote for Oprah's Magazine, “How to Write a Novel in 7 Easy Steps.” It's funny, irreverent, but has some great advice. For more information on Writers on Writing and additional writing tips, visit our Patreon page. To listen to past interviews, visit our website. We're also excited to announce the opening of our new bookstore on bookshop.org. We've stocked it with titles from our guests, as well as some of our own personal favorites. By purchasing through the store, you'll support both independent bookstores and our show. New titles will be added all the time (it's a work in progress).

Author Spotlight: Chris and Emily have a great time talking with Fancy Feast about her new (and debut) essay collection, NAKED: ON SEX, WORK, AND OTHER BURLESQUES. We bid adieu to Scarlet Summer with a recap of our Biblio Adventure to Boston where we visited sites related to Nathaniel Hawthorne. The first stop was the land upon which Brook Farm operated in West Roxbury, MA where we hiked to the crumbling foundation of Margaret Fuller's cottage. In Boston's historic district, we had lunch at Chipotle, the current tenant of the Old Corner Bookstore, saw Elizebeth Pain's headstone in King's Chapel Burial Ground, and took a tour of the Boston Athenaeum. We ended the day with a stroll down Pinckney Street, a block where, at different times, Hawthorne, the Alcotts, and the Thoreaus all lived and where Elizabeth Peabody held her kindergarten (the first in America). While on vacation at the Cape, Emily visited Herridge Bookstore, the Provincetown Bookshop, Tim's Used Books, the Provincetown Public Library, and the Eldredge Public Library. She also read WELLNESS by Nathan Hill and NAKED by Fancy Feast. Chris was a guest on Shawn the Book Maniac's BookTube channel where she shows and talks about two bookmarks from her childhood (which were made in Emily's hometown!). She got a lot of reading in and finished ADVERSITY FOR SALE by Jay Jeezy Jenkins, MONSTERS: A FANS DILEMMA by Clair Dederer (which she buddy read with BookTuber Britta of The Second Shelf), THE SEPTEMBER HOUSE by Carissa Orlando, and two kids's books: WHEN A PET DIES by Fred Rogers and STAIRWAY TO DOOM by Robert Quackenbush. Reminder that our 4th Quarter Readalong is THE BOOKBINDER by Pip Williams. Email us (bookcougars@gmail.com) if you'd like to join our Zoom discussion on Sunday, December 3rd at 7 p.m. ET.
Nathan Hill's novel Wellness starts with a blossoming romance between two artists in Chicago's underground scene. Twenty years later, they're married, raising a kid, and running into all sorts of conflict, within themselves and with one another. In today's episode, Hill speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young about how love and partnership changes over time, and how the start of the book – which he wrote two decades ago – felt much different when he reapproached it in his 40s.
Nathan Hill's Wellness is the story of Jack and Elizabeth, a couple who sees their relationship and understanding of each other change over the course of their marriage.
Nathan Hill is the guest on this edition of The Literary Life. His new novel Wellness is one of the most anticipated books of the year: following his critically acclaimed The Nix, Wellness tells the story of a marriage at its inception and then into its future.
