    What began as smuggling routes through the desert has evolved into one of the most powerful underground empires on Earth — a parallel nation built on fear, loyalty, and staggering wealth. 
    In Cartel Nation, readers are taken deep inside the hidden machinery of Mexico’s drug cartels — a world where criminal networks rival governments, warlords command armies, and pop culture glorifies the very violence that terrorizes entire regions. Through gripping storytelling and meticulous investigation, this book unveils how cartels moved from the shadows into the center of politics, business, and everyday life. 
    Discover: 
    •	How Mexico’s cartels grew from small-time traffickers into transnational corporations of crime.

    •	How narco culture — from music and film to religion and fashion — turned the cartels into global icons. 
    •	The brutal wars fought for territory, power, and legitimacy — and why they can’t simply be “won.” 
    From the dusty streets of Sinaloa to the halls of power in Mexico City, Cartel Nation traces a chilling and fascinating rise — a story of corruption, resilience, and the dark side of globalization. 
    Suppose you’re fascinated by true crime, geopolitics, or the human cost of power. In that case, this book will leave you stunned—and unable to look away. 
    Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Ioan Grillo, and Netflix’s Narcos, Cartel Nation reveals the truth behind the myth — and why the cartel era is far from over.

    Are you ready to embark on a transformative and life-changing journey towards elite performance and genuine success? 
    In Drop The Act: The Inside Secrets For Elite Performance, renowned psychologist and performance specialist Kate Glancey delves into the secrets of champions, and unveils the path less travelled by those who achieve unparalleled success. 
    As Kate explains, elite performance is often only considered in the realm of sporting superstars, CEOs, world-class musicians and those who reach the dizzying heights of their chosen profession. However, when we peel back the layers of façade and dive into the heart of authenticity, we can discover the place inside us where the true power to excel resides. 
    Today, we are a society of disconnected individuals who are living through our mind instead of our heart. This tendency to live in the mind, in a place of thought rather than being guided by the pure energy of our soul, is the greatest challenge and barrier to uncovering your inner wisdom and power. In her signature story-telling style, Kate guides you towards uncovering that hidden potential that lies beneath the act you present to the world. Packed with practical exercises and insightful tips, this book shows you how to drop the act once and for all, and be the person you were born to be. 
    Most people assume the words ‘elite’ and ‘performer’ can only be applied to a select few, but as Kate explains, we are all performers in our own lives. Whether you are a mum, a dad, a wife, a husband, a partner, or a friend – or a player, an academic, an employee or an employer, we are all performing in life. And we all have the potential within us to fulfil our purpose and achieve genuine success and happiness.
