Book Recommendation
The reason I enrolled in Cognitive Psychology this summer was because of a book I read for another high school course called: Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. It is so interesting, and it really sheds some light on why we pardon those who hurt us and why we continue to hurt people. I really, really recommend it.

I read that book as part of my eighth grade summer reading list. The book is centered more around sociology than cognitive psychology, although that does not take away from its fabulous nature.
