      The best book on cognitive biases that I have read is Irrationality by Stuart Sutherland.

      Stuart Sutherland's book, "Irrationality", is about as concise and readable an account of these as you could wish for.

      My New Year's resolution (last year) was to always make a New Year's resolution to re-read it that year, because the insights tend to slip away with time.

      I just love how much sound advice we discard because of our feelings towards someone/something.

      Ever read Stuart Sutherland's Irrationality?
