Actually, several of the chapters of this book are very likely completely wrong and the rest are on shakier foundations than I believed 9 years ago (similar to other works of social psychology that accurately reported typical expert views at the time). See here for further elaboration.
I’m on the fence about recommending this book now, but please read skeptically if you do choose to read it.
Hi, welcome to Less Wrong !
For things that you should read, I can give you three very classical (for LW) hints :
The book Goedel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter.
Read the Sequences, they are really worth it.
The Less Wrong list (started by lukeprog, expanded by others) of the best textbooks on every subject
Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman should be part of the Less Wrong canon by now.
