John Wareham 

Bedside Reading For President Joe Biden 

The 2008 book that predicted the 2021 Kabul debacle

Leadership psychologist, Dr. Mark Alter is secretly retained to help United States President George W. Bush address a clandestine addiction to alcohol, and reverse the course of the Iraq War. The assignment meets with astonishing success — until malevolent forces come into play.

On the day his big time ambitions seem about to be realized, Chandler 'Chancey' Haste glances into the rearview mirror of the limousine that bears him across Manhattan’s Triboro Bridge and catches the reflection of a scorching affair from his past overleaping oceans to engulf him...

"Philosophically savvy, hilarious, whimsical--inspired."

 "Stunning...ardent...strange and affecting. An unusual spin on a love triangle--an exploration of moral quandaries and the passionate heights of sensual love from leadership consultant John Wareham, whose writing is assured throughout."

A Life Changer for Inmates Trapped Within the Asylum of Forbidden Love

In this startling Pulitzer nominated anthology of forty nine sonnets, hidden meanings and insights are unveiled by John Wareham, who also distills and dissects sonnets from the infamous Charles and Camilla cell phone conversation, lines from Diana Spencer, the text messages that trapped Tiger Woods, e-mailed love missives from the Mark Sanford Appalachian Trail affair, and transcripts from the John and Elizabeth Edwards meltdown. Former U.S. president Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary also make cameo appearances.

"A passionate lure to the sonnets delights"--David Stanford Burr, Professor of Poetry NYU.

"Happily destined, like Milton's Paradise Lost, to find its readers."--Don Foster, Professor of Literature, Vassar College

Zap your inner demons and create the life you want

To read this book is to know why Rikers denizens dubbed John Wareham 'the Wizard of Cell Block C76. Inside these pages, John exposes the inner demons—the zombie, the snake, the gremlin and the witch—who lock you inside four mental and emotional walls, then shares a fail-proof Breakout Plan that delivers a whole new life. 

'An eye-opening life-changer for every upward striver.' Richard Habersham, Harlem U.S. Congressional contender, star of Spike Lee's movie, Do the Right Thing.

''Truly transformational; this escape route sure worked for me.' -- Brian O'Dea, author of HIGH: Confessions of an International Drug Smuggler.

"All prisons are mental prisons.
They lock from the inside.
You lock yourself in,
and you own the key,
so only you can let yourself out."

Lacing dramatic real-life stories with penetrating insights, John shows how individuals from every walk of life become trapped in mental prisons, and then reveals precisely how to break free and create the life you were meant to live.

"A revelatory, moving, insightful, ingenious, canny, life-altering work."--Dr. Howard Frank, Dean, Maryland Business School

“Victims abide at both ends of a gun. Bullets fly to the heart and from the heart. Wounds that exist before the pulling of the trigger are the wellspring of crime and the font of redemption.“ 

New lives for old: that’s the lofty mission of the Eagles Prison Program. But is that just a pipe dream? Judge for yourself as maximum security prison inmates share their journeys from innocence to criminality, arrest to bewilderment, conviction to incarceration, despair to hope, defeat to victory, vice to virtue, and lawlessness to love.

“To pen a prison poem is to unlock the cage along with the heart. This deft collection sparks a potent reciprocity of spirit as one harkens to the sound of wings in the night.” --Professor Jess Maghan—Director, Forum for Comparative Correction

“Blood & tears, sorrows & regrets—every heart-stopping moment is captured & freely shared by healing desperados: I love this book.”-- Brian O’Dea, author, HIGH: Confessions of an International Drug Smuggler

A distinguished Manhattan-based maverick accepts an invitation to share 'a few inspiring words' with a visiting class from his former New Zealand high school, where sexual abuse was an open secret, and sadistic masters ran rife. How much truth should he share?
With unerring wisdom and dark wit, John Wareham revisits the swirling inner life of a child with a crippling stutter, whose emotional, sexual and spiritual journeys pass through rivers of despair in New Zealand, to a flood of enlightenment in New York.

me deeply.' - Brian O'Dea, author, High: Confessions of An International Drug Smuggler
