I’ve just finished reading Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely.
I think most LWers would enjoy it. If you’ve read the sequences, you probably won’t learn that many new things (though I did learn a few), but it’s a good way to refresh your memory (and it probably helps memorization to see those biases approached from a different angle).
It’s a bit light compared to going straight to the studies, but it’s also a quick read.
Looking at that amazon link, has anyone considered automatically inserting a SIAI affiliate into amazon links? It appeared to work quite well for StackOverflow.

Good to give as gift to friends.
I’m waiting for the revised edition to come out in May.

Is there a description of the changes somewhere?
I didn’t see any, but it is close to 100 pages longer.
Original hardcover was 244 pages long, so 100 pages is a significant addition. Probably worth waiting for.
