The Gorilla Package
Summary
The novel purports to be a report provided to the head of revitalized Russia named Peter Chuikov. Chuikov is on the verge of ordering an invasion of the United States that has appeared to toss out its politicians. The tale begins of how America exploded and threw over the system. Then proceeds to weave an intriguing unique tale with characters and plots you will never forget. The Gorilla Package was originally published in May of 2012 and has prophesied the racially intense environment of the world today.

Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) (Third Edition)
Summary
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why the parade of public figures unable to own up when they screw up? Why the endless marital quarrels over who is right? Why can we see hypocrisy in others but not in ourselves? Are we all liars? Or do we really believe the stories we tell? Renowned social psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson take a compelling look into how the brain is wired for self-justification. When we make mistakes, we must calm the cognitive dissonance that jars our feelings of self-worth. And so we create fictions that absolve us of responsibility, restoring our belief that we are smart, moral, and right - a belief that often keeps us on a course that is dumb, immoral, and wrong. Backed by years of research and delivered in lively, energetic prose, Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) offers a fascinating explanation of self-deception - how it works, the harm it can cause, and how we can overcome it.
