Here is what five consulting editors of the manuscript said about “Who Is the Real RFK Jr. & How Cognitive Science Unpacks His Leadership, Influence, & Legacy.”
Congratulations, mate! I am not surprised by this early success as I haven't seen such a book before in this field. I finished reading the manuscript and sent you a 100-page long feedback. I don't think I will be in your good book after such long comments increasing your workload. success does not come easy, does it?
Wonderful news, Dr Yildiz! I am very happy this type of book is gaining readers' attention. I wish you more success. Your hard work deserves it. I loved this audio. I will share it with my psychology and biography-loving friends, colleagues, and clients. It will definitely be a bestseller as I have also read your manuscript.
I hope to read it. Very mixed feelings about him compared to the past as I worked health care lobbyists, members of Congress, and in hospital admin.
I didn’t know him personally but often was in offices with him.
Later, in 2000 I listened to him at an AARP convention in a session on environmental issues if I remember correctly. At that time I thought he was brilliant. Would have voted for him.
These days I question his reasoning and wonder if he has early dementia in some news clips. But then, my late husband had Alzheimer’s and something seems off? Still a very interesting person as were many of members of his family back when we were all young and idealistic.
Congrats, Dr. Yildiz. A worthy topic presented in the biographical style connected to (although many years ago, and with some stylistic differences) by Norman Mailer in "Marilyn" -- where, like you with RFK Jr., literary walls were boldly smashed and we received an author/biographer's authentic, but unbiased, response to the subject. I did not consider RFK Jr. a serious thinker or true public servant prior to reading your work on him, but I am now reconsidering. I was especially moved by your transparency about process, artistic choices, and most importantly your inner journey as it pertained to this effort. The right book at the right time, from an inspired premise that is destined to make a real impact. Thanks for including us in it.
Confirmation bias easily understood in the context of parents whose children have been vaccinated who are convinced their autistic kids have suffered negative effects from the childhood vaccinations that millions of children acceded to, in order to attend school. They annd RFK, Jr. ignore decades of scientific studies that refute this contention.
Now that EPA is being decimated by the administration, good luck to RFK's commitment to environmental justice, especially in disadvantaged communities.
Like so many new heads of govt. agencies, he'll just have to say what Lilly Tomlin used to say on her famous Saturday Night Live skit as a phone operator, ”Never mind”.
Your choices of subject of writing books is unconventional. They are often thought provoking and present the facts from a different perspective. Biographies often consists of personality's own experiences and of their close aids. However presenting a biography through lens of cognitive science is something I have not come across before. My knowledge in this area is limited but I am eager to learn. I definitely want to be the beta reader of your upcoming book.

Congratulations. Dr Yildez. I think your concept is brilliant here. I will enjoy reading it some day.
A significant and timely contribution. I look forward to reading it.

Sounds interesting. How do I hear the review
Great review for your book! Congratulations.
Hello Dr. Mehmet,
Your choices of subject of writing books is unconventional. They are often thought provoking and present the facts from a different perspective. Biographies often consists of personality's own experiences and of their close aids. However presenting a biography through lens of cognitive science is something I have not come across before. My knowledge in this area is limited but I am eager to learn. I definitely want to be the beta reader of your upcoming book.
