It takes a lot for a book to wow me. Especially considering that I've been studying critical thinking and cognitive bias since 2000. Yet this book, published in 1993 (!) has wowed me: The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making.
It pulls together most of the research on cognitive bias into a slim volume. Best of all, there is a test at the beginning of the book. Take it, and then amaze yourself at your numerous wrong answers. I thought for sure I'd ace the test. Fortunately, I did not.
It's pricey new. I was able to borrow a copy from my library, through inter-library loan for less than a latte. Highly recommended.
