I freely admit, and sometimes explicitly warn, that I can't compete with doing the problems in textbooks.
But I'll compete with anything short of that; and there are some things today's textbooks don't seem to mention, maybe because it's not formal-sounding enough or universally agreed-upon enough. You can read through a whole physics textbook without understanding MWI; reading about heuristics and biases will leave out a lot that would be helpful in applying it to your everyday life (important exceptions: Robyn Dawes, Cialdini)... but reading standard evolutionary psychology actually will get you all the extras, oddly enough.
