Neil R. Firszt is the author of The Bullshit Machine series,a body of work built not from academic research or professional credentials but from the wreckage and recovery of a life that nearly didn't make it. Afteryears of severe alcoholism and a moment of reckoning in front of a mirror that changed everything, Neil spent the years that followed developing a clear-eyedframework for understanding the operating system that runs beneath human behavior — what he calls the Bullshit Machine. His work covers the architectureof belief, the physiology of stored trauma, the cultural systems designed to keep people manageable, and eight specific conditions that return the body,mind, and spirit to their basic design. Neil's approach is direct, funny, and grounded in lived experience rather than theory.

His books include The Bullshit Machine Supreme, the complete arc of the work, and The Bullshit Machine: Hard Reset — The Guide, the condensed operator's manual for anyone who wants the essentials without thefull origin story. His position is simple. The machine has been running your life. The work is finding out what's underneath it. Also launching soon is "The Bullshit Machine Hard Reset"—a skool.com course and growing community built around removing the programming that produces the same results regardless of how sincerely someone wants differentones.

Carolyn Sherrow is a writer and former physician assistant who practiced medicine for twenty‑three years in high‑pressure clinical settings. Her memoir, MyPersonal Holocaust, explores trauma‑based dissociation and her experience living as a high‑functioning DID survivor for decades. Her internal architecture was complex, organized, and covert, with four identifiable alters and unnamed guardian parts. These parts were not dramatic or theatrical; they held and expressed facets of her personality.

Her youngest part emerged only in absolute safety, while two ten‑year‑old twins carried emotional and developmental roles, and the adult part maintained thefaçade of normalcy. After her mother’s passing, Carolyn broke her silence and began speaking openly about shame identity and early trauma. Her website, CordsOfGrace.com, offers her memoir in eBook and audiobook formats, along with companion PDFs andstudy questions. She continues writing and speaking about healing and identity.
