Finished reading another 5 books borrowed from National Library.

Worth mentioning is Malcolm Gladwell's Blink: the power of thinking without thinking.
This is a very popular book some 10 years ago but I think the book's view on intuition is rather obsolete now.
Instead, you should just read Thinking Fast and Slow if you're interested in this topic.

Another good read is Dan Ariely's Predictably irrational : the hidden forces that shape our decisions.
If you like behavioral economics/psychology, you'll like this book.

Your choices are quite consistent with mine, following the works of Kahneman, Thaler, et al.
If you enjoyed Gladwell, you should give Outliers a go. Finished all his books and I am of the opinion that this sits on top of all his work.
