How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life
by Thomas Gilovich
by Thomas Gilovich
This is an excellent book that discusses mental traps that prevent you from thinking clearly. If you don't know about the perils of seeing patterns where there are none, or how susceptible we all are to the confirmation bias, you need to read this book. Two other books also come to mind, "Bad Science" by Ben Goldacre, and "How to Think about Weird Things" by Schick and Vaughn. These three books overlap somewhat, but they will make you a better critical thinker.
