Your family and friends, your professional life, your mental health, your sex life... Cancer affects much more than just your organs. From the patient-doctor relationship to complementary therapies, the elements that can help you in the healing process are abundant¿- and music, which has been scientifically proven, is one of them, in part thanks to its capacity to induce strong emotions. None of these therapies is in itself a miracle cure, but together with medical treatments, they can enable patients to live better with cancer and increase their chances of recovery.Min-Jung Kym, a pianist, and Alain Toledano, a radiation oncologist, have experienced this personally. She has survived two cancers, and explains here how music helped her well beyond her professional practice. He founded the Institut Rafaël, a centre for Integrative Medicine near Paris entirely dedicated to his cancer patients. He was her doctor. This book was inspired by their encounter.

We are currently experiencing more than the Fourth Industrial Revolution: a Multiverse Revolution is profoundly changing everyday life for businesses and citizens. The dazzling progress of artificial intelligence, the metaverse and digital twins is pushing back the frontiers of possibilities in fields as diverse as advanced medicine, the conquest of space, smart cities, quantum computing and ecological transition. Although the advent of the Internet and Web 2.0 coincided with the digitalization of our lives, the Multiverse Revolution is reversing this trend. New simulation software can help our societies make the world a more sustainable place, expand the field of knowledge and optimize resource management. At the confluence of the digital sphere and the physical universe, these innovations can play a pivotal role in the real world. If the right choices and investments are made, Europe can become a leader in this paradigm shift. It has an opportunity to provide an alternative to Chinese and American tech models by focusing on clean energy, health, education and people's well-being. Today, issues of sovereignty and strategic autonomy are of crucial importance. There is an urgent need to accelerate progress in these areas in order to improve not only the competitiveness of our economy but also the daily lives of European citizens.

Silicon Valley companies have convinced the world that they are successful because of their technological superiority and creative genius. But this is an illusion. To keep consumers and investors hooked, they use a highly addictive substance -junk tech, which subtly combines the ability to tap into the zeitgeist, an understanding of people's aspirations, the talent to transform these two things into a highly coherent product or service and the power to craft myths that resonate with individual and collective desires. In the digital civilization, dream peddlers and mirage merchants have taken over from engineers, developing a vision of the world that enables them to attract capital, talent, and public attention. In France and Europe, we are trying to reproduce this formula but without the right ingredients. By neglecting the art of storytelling and remaining captive to a technocentric approach, we are adopting the wrong recipe: product hypertrophy, the cult of intellect, a rejection of simplicity, a dependency on rational approaches and a weak cooperative culture. Convinced that we must break with the cult of disruption, this essay argues in favor of the renewal of innovation mechanisms and a stronger focus on the fundamentals of marketing. The stakes are high: building new credible alternatives to compete with Silicon Valley and laying the foundations for sustainable and virtuous business models and innovations that meet the aspirations of today's citizen-consumers to have a positive impact on the future and the planet.

Africa is facing many obstacles: economic, social, political, demographic, ecological, energetic and cultural. This book offers ways to reduce poverty and lead the continent along the path of inclusive and sustainable growth.

Present times reveal a disturbing paradox: our supposedly hyper-connected post-modern societies had never stretched the social link this thin. The fault lines are so deep that we aren't far from a potential failure. To remedy this, the French Academy came up with a new word in 2004, namely convivence -this proves that words have the power to build and transform reality,- to restore hope of living together. This composition not only analyzes the wounds we are stricken with, but also suggests concrete methods to bridge the gaps faced by our societies and favors the emergence of a new ideology, which is more humane.
