"Fooled By Randomness" by Taleb is one of my favourite books of all time! I found it really eye-opening.
I'm currently reading "Outliers" by Gladwell, and it's a great read! I'll probably try and pick up a copy of his "Tipping point" next.
Another good psychology/behaviour/economics book is "Freakonomics", and it's sequel "SuperFreakonomics". Both interesting reads. If you haven't read "Fooled by randomness" yet though I'd definitely recommend that first!
- ohashi 16y agoI am also reading Fooled by Randomness right now, enjoying it a lot. Black Swan was good. I didn't like outliers very much. Tipping Point and Blink were more interesting to me.
- serverdude 16y agoI am a big fan of both Fooled by Randomness and Black swan. I especially love the fallacies he discusses w.r.t. human brain! I also recommend Sudhir Venkatesh's "Gang Leader For a Day".
