Consider Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman. Recommended by 62 sources.
“This book walks you through two mental systems—one fast and intuitive, the other slow and analytical—using a cascade of clever experiments that reveal how easily we're fooled. The value lies in naming and demonstrating dozens of cognitive biases that affect decisions from shopping to investing. it reads as dense, rich, and often fascinating, but the parade of similar studies can feel repetitive, and the lack of practical shortcuts may frustrate readers wanting quick fixes. Some later research has questioned a few findings, which can gnaw at your trust as you go.”
