Thinking 101: How to Reason Better to Live Better

This book is excellent and is my new go-to recommendation for this subject. It's not that I learned much from it; I actually maybe learned nothing? Or very little. But I treat books like these like mental pushups, keeping myself sharp on the various biases and things humans do to trick themselves into thinking they're rational beings and I think this one does an absolutely great job at keeping everything very simple for the reader, giving multiple examples that are very clear, without going overboard on repeating information. It also covers quite a lot of ground and talks about a lot of the most important experiments in cognitive science and what we can extrapolate from them and even some things that we can't.

If this book was required reading in school, the world would be a better place.
