For my b-day I'm hoping to get "reassess your chess" by Silman and his endgame book as well.

recommendation: 

How to be a candidate master (Alex dunne)

despite being published in the 1980s it's very instructive. He devotes much more time than other books on the psychological aspects of chess. And yes, I have that book. In the introduction he says: "This is a book about winning." And it did win over me.

Oh that looks good

It's a really good book and some of the tests at the end of the sections are actually quite challenging. I guarantee it will make you a better player, not without quite a bit of effort though.

Basically his psychological aspect can be summed up as this: "aha, white is playing defensive. therefore I have the advantage"
