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.

Good to give as gift to friends.

I'm waiting for the revised edition to come out in May.

Looking at that amazon link, has anyone considered automatically inserting a SIAI affiliate into amazon links? It appeared to work quite well for StackOverflow.

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.
