  Presentation of the objectives of the book and the proposal to offer an alternative perspective to "The Power of Habit."Welcome to the book "Unveiling Habits: An Alternative Approach to The Power of Habit Book." In this work, we embark on a journey of exploring and questioning traditional theories about habits, presenting an alternative perspective to that proposed by the author Charles Duhigg in his acclaimed book.Since the publication of "The Power of Habit," many readers have been inspired by Duhigg's ideas about how habits shape our lives and how we can transform them to achieve success and happiness. However, while we recognize the merit of your contributions, we also believe that it is essential to question and deepen the understanding of the complex mechanisms that govern our automatic behaviors.Our approach is not simply to challenge Duhigg's work for contesting. On the contrary, we seek to expand knowledge on the subject of habits and to provide readers with a more complete and refined view of how they are formed, how they are maintained and how they can be modified.Our goal is to go beyond the simplistic idea that all habits follow a pattern of trigger-routine-reward, highlighting that habits are much more complex than this formula. We will investigate the influence of the social and cultural context on the formation of habits, as well as the importance of self-awareness for the change of entrenched behaviours.As we dive into this journey, we will seek support in recent research on neuroscience, behavioral psychology and other relevant disciplines. We will be looking for a deeper understanding of the brain connections that support habits, as well as identifying effective strategies for the adoption and maintenance of positive habits.Throughout the next chapters, we invite you to reflect with us and question the established premises without fear of exploring new horizons. Our intention is to offer a complementary rather than competitive approach to Duhigg's work, providing readers with a comprehensive and grounded view of the habits that govern our lives.We hope that, at the end of this journey, you will feel empowered to understand better the mechanics of habits and to make conscious choices that lead you to a healthier, more productive and satisfying life. Accompany us in discovering the nuances and secrets behind habits, and together we will unravel the power that they really exercise in our lives.

  Teotihuacan Empire - The City of...

  Teotihuacan, known as the "City of the Gods," remains one of the most enigmatic civilizations of ancient Mesoamerica. Its origins date back to around 400 BCE, when small settlements began to emerge in the Valley of Mexico. Over the centuries, these settlements merged, gradually forming what would become the largest and most influential city of its time. The exact reasons for its rise are still debated, but archaeologists believe that a combination of favorable geography, trade opportunities, and sociopolitical factors contributed to Teotihuacan’s emergence as a dominant power. 
  The valley’s rich volcanic soil provided fertile land for agriculture, supporting crops such as maize, beans, and squash. The region was also strategically located along key trade routes, allowing early inhabitants to engage in commerce with neighboring cultures. As the population grew, so did the need for organization, leading to the development of complex social structures. Unlike other civilizations that revolved around a single ruling dynasty, Teotihuacan appears to have been governed by a collective leadership, possibly a council of elites who controlled different aspects of city life. 
  One of the most intriguing aspects of Teotihuacan’s early history is the origin of its name. The Aztecs, who discovered the abandoned ruins centuries later, named it "Teotihuacan," meaning "the place where gods were born." This suggests that even in ancient times, the city held a sense of divine significance. Mythology and spiritual beliefs were deeply intertwined with its development, as seen in its grand temples and pyramids, which were aligned with celestial movements.

  Servants of Allah - African...

  Servants of Allah presents a history of African Muslims, following them from West Africa to the Americas. Although many assume that what Muslim faith they brought with them to the Americas was quickly absorbed into the new Christian milieu, as Sylviane A. Diouf demonstrates in this meticulously researched, groundbreaking volume, Islam flourished during slavery on a large scale. She details how, even while enslaved, many Muslims managed to follow most of the precepts of their religion. Literate, urban, and well-traveled, they drew on their organization, solidarity and the strength of their beliefs to play a major part in the most well-known slave uprisings. But for all their accomplishments and contributions to the history and cultures of the African Diaspora, the Muslims have been largely ignored. Servants of Allah—a Choice 1999 Outstanding Academic Title—illuminates the role of Islam in the lives of both individual practitioners and communities and shows that though the religion did not survive in the Americas in its orthodox form, its mark can be found in certain religions, traditions, and artistic creations of people of African descent. This fifteenth anniversary edition has been updated to include new materials and analysis, a review of developments in the field, and prospects for new research.

  In "Physician on a Mission: Dr. Veltmeyer's Rx to Save America," Dr. James Veltmeyer offers his prescription for curing the deepening crisis of our American republic as it is brutally bombarded by cultural revolutionaries in our media and universities and globalist manipulators in New York, Washington, and Silicon Valley. In this book, Dr. Veltmeyer shares his views on a host of critical national and international issues, from health care and COVID-19 to foreign policy, immigration, climate change, China, trade, the federal judiciary, homelessness, education, abortion and the economy that have been addressed in his numerous OpEds and podcasts over the last several years. By seeking to bring the truth of our priceless Constitutional framework of liberty, free markets, and limited government to all Americans who are seeking that truth, he seeks nothing less than to reclaim our heritage, our civilization and indeed our very birthright as American citizens from the very forces who seek to bury them.
