Recent popular books on human irrationality to recommend to your friends

Also, Dan Ariely's second book, The Upside of Irrationality is pretty good. For an introduction, I can recommmend Ariely's TED-talks.

Then, for the other books, Í read Sway, which was not bad, but not outstanding either.

I very much liked The Invisible Gorilla though, whose author did a good job of defending everyday-rationality, for example with respect to the 'antivax'-movement.

Lukeprog: of the other books, are there any you specifically recommend?

I recently read Stuart Sutherland's Irrationality, which also explains a lot of the more common biases and errors in reasoning. Decent book, but -again- probably not a lot of new ideas for less wrongers.

It's maybe not so recent, but I'm a huge fan of Influence, and it's extremely readable.

When was this last updated? Has anything new come out since?

I found sway entertaining and the fact that I had already been exposed to the concept of bias probably made me slightly more open to less wrong. At the same time I don't think I got much direct benefit from it rationality wise.

Also, Dan Ariely's second book, (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NSVE50/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=1278548962&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=006135323X&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0SCAH2GVK33FBAQ2VFN3)[The Upside of Irrationality] is pretty good. For an introduction, I can recommmend Ariely's (http://www.ted.com/speakers/dan_ariely.html)[TED-talks].

Awesome, thanks for the list!

I'm part-way through Mistakes Were Made and it's great so far.
