"The Watchman's Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction" by Rebecca Costa  - Donald Trump Instead of focusing on why some societies work, Costa delves into why powerful societies fail, such as the Myans and Egyptians.  Intellectual gridlock, embedded beliefs unsupported by results, and the power of pseudo-scientific thought are all taken out and examined.  Jack Covert, founder of 800-CEO-Read, and Donald Trump believe the book has earned a spot on reading lists everywhere.  The New York Journal of Books recommends her work as “excellent” and “crisp”, specifically pointing out her research on topics  that seem scientifically viable but have no basis in reality.
