Is "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman really worth reading the whole book? I feel like I understand the phenomenon it describes (and I believe a page or two is more than enough to explain it), I'm glad somebody described it popularly and attracted attention of wide audience raising their awareness. But reading a 500 pages book is a huge investment of time and mental energy. What's there one might find worth it?

Personally I think that at least one book is missing:<p>&quot;Pragmatics of Human Communication: A Study of Interactional Patterns, Pathologies and Paradoxes&quot; by Paul Watzlawick (1)<p>On the other hand it could very well be the case that the two main points of the book(2) are discussed also in one or more of the 10 listed in the OP.<p>1) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;it&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;89200.Pragmatics_of_Human_Communication" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;it&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;89200.Pragmatics_of_H...</a><p>2) The two points being: - What Communication and Meta-communication are, what purpose they serve and how these are a uniquely human trait. - The role of the therapist in treating dysfunctional families.

The Body Keeps Score is one of the most impactful books I’ve read in the last few years. The thesis is that trauma resides not only in the brain as an experience, but in the body (the central nervous system) as a reaction to that experience, and so resolution of trauma must be more than “talk therapy”, and indeed the research shows that all manner of physical action helps to resolve trauma. There are many components that are needed, and I can confirm with my own n=1 study of the effectiveness of many of the techniques. I hope to continue with the things I am doing and try more of the things he talks about. Highly recommended!<p>Also, pair with “Widen the Window”

The list seems very pop-psychology heavy to me. I would put William James, Principles of Psychology in the top spot.<p>In general William James writing seems full of profound ideas.

I&#x27;m surprised none of Robert Greene&#x27;s books are on this list. Maybe they wouldn&#x27;t be strictly categorized as psychology. The Laws of Human Nature delves into some psychology and personality types though, and is worth reading.

The little I understood about Simple Heuristics That Make Us Smart was really interesting. It&#x27;s about the effectiveness of simple heuristics sometimes outshining sophisticated methods and really thriving in the unknown. Also, it&#x27;s a bit weird that Gerd Gigerenzer doesn&#x27;t usually appear in the same circles as Kahnemann does. His Wikipedia page alone would tell you this and his research really adds a nice counter-weight to the argument of irrationality of human minds.

&quot;How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain&quot; by Lisa Feldman Barrett should be considered for this list.

I&#x27;m still tempted to read Emotional Intelligence. It&#x27;s hard to believe it was published over 25 years ago. It&#x27;s topic has been integrated a lot into work and home culture (including me), though there&#x27;s still a ways to go (including for me).<p>Is it still a good read? Is there another book like it that hackers recommend?

Thinking fast and slow has profoundly changed how I view the world and continually provides me with tools I use to better myself and the organizations I&#x27;m a part of. I now regularly revisit my prior assumptions and attempt to reason from first principles and I am better at recognizing when to encourage it in others.<p>I&#x27;ve also read influence. It&#x27;s Great but it didn&#x27;t have near as much impact on me. but it does really drive home how people rationalize prior assumptions rather than logically arriving at conclusions.

When I was in undergrad, my psychology professor gave me a list of books[0] to read; “if you read these books, you’ll be one of the smartest people in the world.” I actually noticed one of the books on that list!<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20100527123450&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gbc.edu&#x2F;~toothmaj&#x2F;readings.htm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20100527123450&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gbc.ed...</a>

Come as you are. It is sold as a book about sex but it’s a (pop-) psychology book. Compassionate, practical, empowering.<p>Punished by rewards by Alfie Kohn. The amount of research showing that incentivizing people kills internal motivation is… staggering.

I&#x27;d recommend Three Essays on Sexuality over Interpretation of Dreams.

Has anybody here read Watson and Tharp&#x27;s <i>Self-Directed Behavior: Self-Modification for Personal Adjustment</i> ? Any review&#x2F;insight&#x2F;recommendation would be much appreciated.

Interesting, I never considered &quot;Thinking Fast and Slow&quot; and &quot; &quot;Persuasion&quot; to be psychology books or I would not have read them

The irony is that at least half of these books has almost nothing to do with psychology (as a theoretical or practical science).

Have any of the books in this list hit problems with replication, or later finding out the science isn&#x27;t so good?
