Huh. Some of the books will be ones about doctors, like
https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Think-Jerome-Groopman-2007-03...
, which you have to read to find how they talk about cognitive dissonance. Others will be about cognitive dissonance in general, like
https://www.amazon.com/Mistakes-Were-Made-but-Third/dp/03583...
, which you have to read to find how they use the medical profession as starring examples.
