Aliveness, in this context, goes well beyond the acts of sleeping, eating, working, etc., inviting us instead to look into the depths of our own experience, embrace what we find there, and commit to bringing our truest self into the world.

In her 12 guideposts, Pierre engages our energies, soul, and psyche as she explores how we can develop the courageousness, humanity, and connection to wake up to the sunrise and think, "Even though people hit below the belt in life and judge me about my path, I am enough" and to go to bed at night thinking, "Of course, I'm fearful at times, but I am also a warrior."

"Si j'avais demandé à mes clients ce qu'ils voulaient, ils m’auraient répondu 'des chevaux plus rapides' ", disait Henry Ford. Comme quoi, on ne doit pas aborder son marché à partir de clichés comme l'a peut-être fait Kodak. La compétition mondiale avait pour objet la détention des capitaux. Mais aujourd'hui c'est plutôt la culture des idées qui permet de se développer. Il s'agit de générer régulièrement des idées rupturistes.

Présentation du cours: "La créativité est contagieuse, faites-la tourner", disait Einstein qui à force de s'imaginer voyageant sur un photon a découvert la relativité. Certes, passer du "pourquoi ?" au "pourquoi pas ?" procure suffisamment de jubilation pour que chacun contamine son entourage sans inutiles scrupules. Mais cela n'est rien encore.
