What I've been Reading

On Second Thought: Outsmarting You Mind's Hard-Wired Habits by Wray Herebert. I am regular reader of Hernert's excellent blog - We're Only Human. This book is more or less a collection of his blog posts based on academic social science studies. This is one the best book to get "accustomed" to our innate biases. I am officially taking a break from reading any more books on biases/heuristics, its getting repetitious. But I am still optimistic on Nudges since they at-least give a quasi-solution to overcome these biases in the absence (or limited) of self reflection.
