Synopsis

A twelve-year-old boy, lobotomized for daydreaming. A CIA chemist who dosed unwitting strangers with LSD in a rented brothel, then burned the evidence. A viral TED talk about "power posing" that one of its own co-authors later said she no longer believed.

100 Psychological Experiments That Went Too Far was only the beginning. This is the deeper cut — the 100 stories that didn't fit the first time, going further into the CIA's Cold War mind-control programs, the assembly-line brutality of the lobotomy era, and the popular psychology "facts" — the Mozart Effect, the 10,000-hour rule, left-brain/right-brain thinking — that turned out to be built on far less evidence than an entire generation was told.

Every chapter follows the same rule as Book One: what was documented, what researchers concluded, what later scientists disputed, and what remains genuinely uncertain. Nothing here is invented. Where the historical record itself is incomplete — and for several of the CIA's own destroyed-file programs, it genuinely is — this book says so directly instead of filling the gaps with speculation.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The full, disturbing story of the doctor who performed thousands of lobotomies out of a van he called the "lobotomobile"
- How a Kennedy family secret stayed hidden from the public for decades
- The CIA operation that dosed unwitting American citizens with LSD in covert brothels — and the death it's still linked to, seven decades later
- Why the famous "marshmallow test" doesn't predict what generations of parents were told it did
- The secret twin study that separated identical siblings at birth and never told their families
- How a company's own internal research on teen mental health stayed hidden until a whistleblower brought it forward
- The real story behind the viral TED talk on "power posing" — including its own co-author's public reversal

Organized into ten parts — from the lobotomy era to Cold War state programs to the replication crisis still reshaping psychology today — this is dark, rigorously fact-checked nonfiction for readers who finished Book One and immediately wanted more.

Read this one whether or not you've read the first — but if you loved 100 Psychological Experiments That Went Too Far, this is exactly what you're looking for next.
