Je ne me rappelle plus qui m'avait conseillé ce livre, mais je dois admettre qu'il était simplement extrêmement mauvais et, de mon point de vue, très mal équilibré entre hommes et femmes avec 80% des recommendations à l'adresse des femmes. Et je ne suis pas sexologue, mais l'ensemble m'a paru profondément sexiste et vieillot.

Je m'attendais à un livre très à charge sur l'application Grindr, j'ai découvert une étude toute en nuance qui met en exergue nos propres failles en tant qu'hommes gays, certes souvent magnifiées par l'application. Je dois avouer que beaucoup de passages m'ont profondément ému et je m'y suis retrouvé, où plutôt j'ai retrouvé ce que j'ai pu traverser il y a une décennie.
Ce livre traite donc autant de l'application que de nous en tant qu'hommes gays et des blessures que l'on s'inflige souvent entre nous, de notre sexualité très tournée vers la consommation, de notre rapport à nos corps etc. Je pense que c'est une lecture assez vitale pour tout homme gay.
On reproche souvent à Grindr d’être gangrenée par le racisme, la grossophobie, la follophobie, mais on oublie que l’application n’est qu’un miroir grossissant des mécanismes de domination qui structurent les rapports au sein de l’homosexualité masculine.

Was advised this one by a friend from Singapore after some discussion after World War II and after I realized that I knew almost nothing about what happened on the Asian front and what Japanese did to this area.
This tale was deeply moving, I was taken aback several times by the pure horrendous actions led by Japanese troops in the area while keeping the appearances and unwillingness to face the atrocities committed. I also learn a lot about this part of the world, the culture and the impact of the war that is still felt decades after.
The writing was really great, alternating stories and point of views, crossing decades before intertwining and I was surprised at every step. Wang Di character was beautifully written, showing the depths of her character as she went through so many things, but also the evolution of her relationships throughout this period.
I would totally recommend this book if you want to get to know more about what happened in this area during WW2.

Ok I really liked this one and I can feel the interest for the serie at this point (hence why I think the omnibus collecting the first 3 stories is perhaps the best way to start instead of having them separately). The murderbot psychology becomes really interesting, dealing with its boredom and willingness to protect humans even while it is released from its shackles. Still think the humor and anti-hero trope can be better, some parts made me smile but I was still expecting more on this side.

Conseillé par mon thérapeute, je pense que le titre n'est peut être pas le plus adapté au contenu. Malgré le ton très "ergothérapeute bienveillant" le sujet était assez intéressant, principalement sur comment gérer la manière dont notre esprit "critiquant" fonctionne et sur notre relation avec nos pensées. Ce livre enseigne pas mal de méthodes pour gérer les pensées invasives, en apprenant à faire la différence entre notre observation des faits et leur réalité, permettant de créer un espace de respiration. J'ai trouvé les exercices assez intéressant, que ce soit dans la manière de gérer nos pensées invasives que dans la manière de structurer une vie autour des valeurs qui nous importent le plus (à la différence d'objectifs).
