\"A simple shift in thinking can change everything you believe about your own happiness. By the time we become adults, most of us have joined the religion of suffering, which preaches that unless circumstances are controlled, life will be a mess. We compare ourselves to others and speculate about an impossible-to-know future, holding out hope for an improved life through getting ahead, fulfilling passion, or finding true love. But the idea that happiness comes from putting effort toward altering one's circumstances is harmful and backward. What if we instead learned to understand that circumstances can rarely be controlled, and that life is, and always will be, messy? From that starting point, we could learn to use our minds to create happiness despite life's ever-changing circumstances and events. Life's Messy, Live Happy by Cy Wakeman is about dramatically changing the level of happiness you feel in your daily life, by learning to disconnect happiness from external forces, stop worrying about the future, and realize that most of your negative feelings are about things that never even happened. Wakeman is a credible, relatable teacher-a business owner, mother, and community member who has lived her philosophy and achieved profound happiness and success in a crazy, messy life. Filled with concrete daily practices and true stories that are hilarious, painful, and poignant, this book will change everything: your perspective, your focus, and your energy level for everyday life\"-- Provided by publisher.

What kind of life best ensures human welfare? Since the ancient Greeks, this question has been as central to ethical philosophy as to ordinary reflection. But what exactly is welfare? This question has suffered from relative neglect. And, as Stephen Darwall shows, it has done so at a price. Presenting a provocative new \"rational care theory of welfare,\" Darwall proves that a proper understanding of welfare fundamentally changes how we think about what is best for people. Most philosophers have assumed that a person's welfare is what is good from her point of view, namely, what she has a distinctive reason to pursue. In the now standard terminology, welfare is assumed to have an \"agent-relative normativity.\" Darwall by contrast argues that someone's good is what one should want for that person insofar as one cares for her. Welfare, in other words, is normative, but not peculiarly for the person whose welfare is at stake. In addition, Darwall makes the radical proposal that something's contributing to someone's welfare is the same thing as its being something one ought to want for her own sake, insofar as one cares. Darwall defends this theory with clarity, precision, and elegance, and with a subtle understanding of the place of sympathetic concern in the rich psychology of sympathy and empathy. His forceful arguments will change how we understand a concept central to ethics and our understanding of human bonds and human choices.

\"Robert E. Lane is one of the most prominent and distinguished critics of both the human impact of market economies and economic theory, arguing from much research that happiness is more likely to flow from companionship, enjoyment of work, contribution to society, and the opportunity to develop as a person, than from the pursuit of wealth and the accumulation of material goods in market economies. This latest work playfully personalizes the contrast through a dialogue between a humanistic social scientist, Dessi, and a market economist, Adam. It is all too rare to have the two sides talking to each other. Moreover, in Lane's witty and literate hands, it is an open-minded and balanced conversation, in which neither side has all the answers. His unparalleled grasp of interdisciplinary social scientific knowledge is brought to bear on the largest questions of human life: What genuinely makes people happy? How should human society be organized to maximize the quality of human lives?\"--David O. Sears, Professor of Psychology and Political Science, UCLA\"Lane's deep knowledge of the sources of human happiness enables him to develop a powerful critique of economic theory.\"---Robert A.

This study was conducted to describe factors explaining the low involvement of male partners in the PMTCT service in the Bunia health zone. The cross-sectional method, supported by a questionnaire survey, was used to conduct this study among 400 male partners of pregnant women in the Bunia health zone in August and September 2021. Content analysis supported by percentage calculations was used to analyze the data. After analysis, the study revealed the following: - The main factors associated with the low involvement of male partners in accompanying their wives to the PMTCT service are respectively the perception of poor organization of PMTCT services (73%), lack of time on the part of spouses (48%), ignorance of the importance of PMTCT by spouses (36.75%) and the PMTCT service being perceived as a female environment (21%). - Nearly 2/3 of respondents mentioned that non-participation in the PMTCT service could result in remaining sero-ignorant (36.68%) and increase the risk of contamination (29.65%). In the light of these results, it must be admitted that efforts still need to be made to ensure the effective involvement of male partners in PMTCT services. An important aspect is to develop strategies to overcome the main factors affecting the non-involvement of male partners in PMTCT services.

Introduction.Les Autochtones du Canada sont traités de façon négative lorsqu’ils ont accès à des soins de santé primaires. Malgré plusieurs comptes rendus qualitatifs de ces expériences, il n’y a toujours pas de revue qualitative sur ce sujet. Dans cette revue systématique qualitative, nous avons voulu explorer les expériences vécues par les Autochtones au Canada lorsqu’ils reçoivent des soins de santé primaires, caractériser les différences entre les régions urbaines et les régions rurales ou éloignées et dégager des recommandations portant sur l’amélioration de la qualité des soins.Méthodologie. Cette revue a été guidée par la méthodologie du Joanna Briggs Institute concernant la revue systématique de données qualitatives. Nous avons consulté les bases de données MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed, PsycInfo, Embase et Web of Science, ainsi que la littérature grise et des sources ancestrales afin de trouver des articles pertinents. Les sources ancestrales ont été obtenues en examinant les références de tous les articles inclus afin d’identifier celles qui pourraient correspondre aux critères d’admissibilité. Deux évaluatrices indépendantes ont procédé au tri des articles puis au dépouillement du texte intégral, à l’extraction des données et à l’évaluation de la qualité des données. Une fois toutes les données recueillies, elles ont été synthétisées au moyen de l’approche de la méta-agrégation (PROSPERO CRD42020192353).Résultats. Nos recherches nous ont permis de trouver 2 503 articles dans les bases de données universitaires et 12 articles provenant de la littérature grise et de sources ancestrales. Nous avons retenu au total 22 articles dans notre revue. Trois grandes constatations synthétisées se sont dégagées – les expériences satisfaisantes, les attitudes discriminatoires et les défis systémiques auxquels sont confrontés les patients autochtones – ainsi qu’une constatation synthétisée concernant leurs recommandations.Conclusion. Les Autochtones tiennent à recevoir des soins sûrs, accessibles et respectueux. La discrimination et le racisme auxquels ils sont confrontés ont une incidence négative sur leur santé et leur bien-être. Il est donc essentiel de mettre en œuvre immédiatement des changements dans la pratique, les structures et les politiques en matière de soins de santé et d’amorcer sans délai une transformation systémique.

Notre article présente une revue complète de la littérature sur le reporting intégré (RI), à partir du cadre d'analyse de Beattie (2014). Nous prenons appui sur ce modèle pour mener une réfexion par abduction fondée sur une analyse de contenu. Notre analyse de la littérature sur le RI révèle l'existence de liens étroits entre les diférentes catégories de notre cadre d'analyse, ainsi que l'émergence d'un practice turn. La création de valeur selon la perspective des parties prenantes (autres que fnancières) demeure une thématique peu explorée et constitue une piste pour de futures recherches.

L'objectif de cette étude est d'identifier la contribution des parémies à la prise de décision de l'Entrepreneur-Manageur Africain (EM A). Nous avons effectué une analyse de contenu thématique des interviews de cinq entrepreneur-manageurs camerounais appartenant à la région du Centre, de l'Ouest et du Littoral. Les résultats de cette analyse révèlent que les heuristiques d'ancrage et de représentativité sont les plus sollicitées dans l'esprit de TEMA lors du processus de prise de décision. Dans ce sens, les proverbes et adages sont mobilisés et assimilés à des prescriptions, en termes de point d'ancrage, ou de point de similitude, au-delà de l'aspect agonistique de la palabre, en s'inscrivant également comme des repères en situation de prise de risque. Cette étude met en évidence les spécificités d'une rationalité qui fonde la pensée de EMA et enrichit la problématique du management africain avec les parémies comme source de sens et de savoirs.

This study was carried out with the aim of describing the obstacles to entrepreneurship among young people in the Kasenyi business Centre. To conduct this study, a survey supported by a semi-structured interview was used with 196 young people. Content analysis using percentage calculations was used to analyze the data. After analysis the study revealed the following results: -In terms of personal obstacles, 32.14% of respondents mentioned fear of failing after starting a business. Among respondents who were not ready to start their own business, 67.68% felt that entrepreneurship was too demanding. -As for economic obstacles, the lack of funds (38,95), and difficulties in accessing financing (84.18%) were mentioned by the majority of respondents. -As for socio-cultural obstacles, the lack of support resources (13,68%), insecurity (14.74%) and unfavorable environment (12.63%) were mentioned by respondents. Although some of the young people who have been trained in entrepreneurship have actually undertaken activities, the obstacles are still enormous and need to be analyzed and overcome in order to get young people effectively involved in entrepreneurship.
