  Should be required reading in school. Someone recently asked me what's the most important book I've ever read, and I said this. Every human should know about the potential fallacies of the mind, how to find truth, and how to be happy simply 'not believing' something (distinct from 'disbelieving') until you have evidence either way. If there is any set of ideas that improved my life the most it's definitely these-- thanks to Sagan, Michael Shermer, James Randi and others, and no thanks to any of my high school or college professors.
