The title says it all: PDF. From Baron's Thinking and Deciding, 4th edition.

That's very useful. I'll print out a copy and put it on my wall.

How do i read the table? I don't understand it.

Also is that book a recommended read?

The table is just a collection of keywords. If you don't already know the content that it summarizes it's pretty useless.

Or at least it's useless on an entry-by-entry basis - I know some but not some others.

I think it's my favorite rationality textbook, yes.
