The Tuttle Twins Guide to Beware Your Bias (Connor Boyack)
We all have them. And we know everyone else does, too. But we avoid thinking about them, even though they affect our thinking deeply. What are they?
They are cognitive biases, and they lead our mind to do things that might not be in our best interest. We are all prone to being affected by them, yet hardly anyone takes the time to learn about them—and how to make sure they don’t have as great an impact on us.
That’s where this guidebook comes in, helping teens and adults learn about each bias so that we can make a concerted effort to not fall prey to their powers. Armed with this information, we can think more clearly, better understand ourselves and others, and make good decisions to benefit our lives.
This is powerful information precisely because so few people seek it. Those who read this book will have an advantage over others who are mentally manipulated without knowing it.

The Tuttle Twins Guide to Modern Villains (Connor Boyack)
What is it about human nature that leads some people to commit unspeakably evil acts?
And, perhaps a more important question for each of us, why do so many people submit to or even support these villains?
World history sadly offers us a long list of dictators and totalitarian thugs who used their power to steal from and oppress their countrymen—and kill those who defied them.
As tragic as these stories all are, they can still offer us lessons to learn from if we try to understand why these people acted the way they did—both those in control and those who were controlled.
These lessons may just have the key we need to help make sure the list of future villains is far shorter than the list in this book.
Whether the problem is a large one, like a dictatorial state or a cultural prejudice, or a small one, such as standing up to a bully, we can resolve to be a hero and fight for what is right.
