  From the beginning of the colonial period to the recent conflicts in the Middle East, encounters with the Muslim world have helped Americans define national identity and purpose. Focusing on America's encounter with the Barbary states of North Africa from 1776 to 1815, Robert Allison traces the perceptions and mis-perceptions of Islam in the American mind as the new nation constructed its ideology and system of government. "A powerful ending that explains how the experience with the Barbary states compelled many Americans to look inward . . . with increasing doubts about the institution of slavery." —David W. Lesch, Middle East Journal "Allison's incisive and informative account of the fledgling republic's encounter with the Muslim world is a revelation with a special pertinence to today's international scene." —Richard W. Bulliet, Journal of Interdisciplinary History "This book should be widely read. . . . Allison's study provides a context for understanding more recent developments, such as America's tendency to demonize figures like Iran's Khumaini, Libya's Qaddafi, and Iraq's Saddam." —Richard M. Eaton, Eighteenth Century Studies

  From self-help to medication, therapy, and cognitive neuroscience, this book traces the uses and limits of psychology. Offering a systematic exploration of the ways in which psychology is used in contemporary society, it refines our understanding of the extent of the field. In addition to conceptual analysis of how science, truth, biology, mind, and meaning intersect and interact in the mind sciences, A Suspicious Science draws from history and anthropology to articulate an interdisciplinary multi-level form of psychology that may serve to orient the field. The book synthesizes debates in psychology and philosophy concerning methodology and the nature of explanation with debates about its practical context as a human science. Ultimately, it suggests psychology provides us myths and rituals that ground a particular sense of meaning and motivation in our lives. By aligning cultural, emotional, and philosophical uses of psychology, this book clarifies a synoptic, humanistic model of the mind within the human sciences.

  What if the key to unlocking your potential and achieving your most ambitious goals lies in mastering one single skill? That skill is willpower—a resource that drives discipline, focus, and the ability to resist distractions. 
  What Is Willpower? 
  Willpower is like a muscle—it gets tired when overused, but it can also be trained and strengthened over time. It’s the driving force behind saying “no” to temptations, “yes” to healthy choices, and staying on track even when the path gets tough. The problem? It’s a finite resource. Every decision you make chips away at your willpower reserves, making it essential to learn how to protect and replenish this vital strength. 
  Why Does It Matter? 
  From overcoming procrastination to managing finances, willpower is at the heart of many challenges we face daily. Lack of self-control can lead to missed opportunities, unhealthy habits, and unfulfilled potential. But here’s the good news: research shows that willpower isn’t fixed. It can be nurtured, expanded, and wielded more effectively through simple, actionable strategies.
