What people on Hacker News said
Many other books explain how our thinking can be flawed (Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow", Ralf Dobelli's "The Art of Thinking Clearly"), but this book gives you some actual real-world mathematical tools to avoid flawed thinking.
The Art Of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli: Taught me about human biases. Reads like a directory of most biases.
The Art of Thinking Clearly is yet another that is actually more like a dictionary of mental models.
Its about thinking biases, by far the book with the greatest information density I have ever read. 2 pages per thinking bias. Paid of a 1000 times.
It explains some concepts that I've been thinking about but can't directly name.
