5 a.m., I'm up with a crisp Celsius energy drink. Running 12 miles today. Grab a green juice, quick change, and head to work. Meetings, workshops, one more Celsius, no slowing down. Working late, but obviously still meeting the girls for a little dancing. Celsius, live, fit, go. Grab a cold, refreshing Celsius at your local retailer or locate now at Celsius.com. You said you were over him, but his hoodie is still in your rotation. It's time. Grab your phone, snap a few pics, and sell it on Depop, listed in minutes, with no selling fees. And just like that, a guy 500 miles away just paid full price for your closure. And right on cue. Hey, still got my hoodie? Nope. But I've got tonight's dinner paid for. Start selling on Depop, where taste recognizes taste.
List now with no selling fees. Payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See website for details.
Most of the things we do on a daily basis, you think you have control over them, that they are all a product of an analysis considered a personal analysis. But it's not really like that. An estimated 40% of the things we do on a daily basis are simply habits, things we do without thinking, that we do by inertia. This book, The Power of Habits by Charles Duhigg, explains how this happens and what we can do to change it. We start with another episode of Bibliotequeando.

Today I bring you this book that I really liked because it is a little more scientific than the typical book of habits, let's say it like that, compared to Atomic Habits, which is a very good book for personal suppression and that style. This is a much more scientific book, in fact the author won the Pulitzer Prize, it was 8 years of research, 8 years of, better said, not him doing the research personally, but collecting information on the subject, talking to neuroscientists, Everything to try to decipher where the habits come from. And the origin of the book seemed curious to me. He was reporting the war in Iraq, in the United States.
From the United States, sorry, in Iraq. And he realized that there was a soldier, a major in the army, who avoided disturbances, forbidding people to sell kebab. In other words, to sell street food. Y cuando la gente del pueblo no podía alimentar como que su rabia, su energía, no podía hacer su típico hábito, en este caso comerse un kebab en la calle, hablar con los demás, la gente simplemente como que se resignaba y se iba. Y ya. Y él podía así controlar los pueblos. Y a él siempre le pareció curioso que él decía... Because something so simple has so much power over people's behavior. And eight years later, he released this book, which has been around 120 weeks on the list of the best-selling books of the New York Times since it was published in 2012.
So I hope you like it a lot.

But let's start with the first part of the book, which talks about how habits arise. Specifically, where habits biologically arise. And it all starts, or we as a society, as a scientific community, we discover where habits came from, thanks to the most famous patient in history, H.M. His name was never kept secret, later it was discovered that he was Henry Molaison, but H.M.
was the most famous patient in the history of neurology, and the reason why we talked about him a lot at the beginning,
