  Embracing the Void - Rethinking...

  A radical reinterpretation of the origin of religion through a psychoanalytic theorization of the unknown 
   
   
    
  Renowned psychoanalytic philosopher Richard Boothby puts forward a novel theory of religion inspired by Jacques Lacan's theory of das Ding, the disquieting, inaccessible dimension of fellow human beings. This notion of an unfathomable excess, originally encountered in the figure of the mother, led Lacan to break with Freud's formulation of the Oedipus complex and underlies Lacan's distinctive conception of unconscious dynamics. Leaning on this account, Boothby shows how our sense of the sacred arises from our relation to what we do not know. 
   
   
    
  Embracing the Void lays out the range of Freud's attempts at a psychoanalytic theory of religion and then sketches the rough contours of Lacan's contrasting approach. From there, Boothby offers the theoretical tools for interpreting the religious impulse and analyzes key religious traditions, from ancient Greek polytheism to Judaism and Christianity, and from Hinduism and Buddhism to Islam, finally turning to modern capitalist culture and the seductive deity that dominates it—money. Lucid, accessible, and compelling, the book provides a cogent intervention in one of the psychoanalytic tradition's most contentious topics and offers a new approach to our understanding of religion.

  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.
