Do you by any chance know of any good resources about training one's RQ? I've read Stanovich, and the first choice in the bibliography seemed to be Jonathan Baron's Thinking and Deciding - which proved to be both very informative and dry as ash. Anything more practical?
- tokenadult 16y agoI like Gerd Gigerenzer's book Calculated Risks: How to Know When Numbers Deceive You http://www.amazon.com/Calculated-Risks-Know-Numbers-Deceive/dp/0743254236/ http://www.amazon.com/Calculated-Risks-Know-Numbers-Deceive/... for readable training in rational thinking. Interestingly, Gigerenzer's more recent books have focused more on strategies for using standard human thought processes, which may not be strictly rational, to reach correct decisions. I haven't read those books yet as closely as I have read Calculated Risks.
- radu_floricica 16y agoI've gone through most of "Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart" - interesting stuff. Had no idea about the earlier books, thanks.
