I heard an interview with Ariely that was quite good. It appears that he agrees with the LW consensus on heuristics & biases, only he has a severely annoying habit of defining "rationality" too narrowly, as naive self-centred cost-benefit analysis. It really irks me when people conflate the two.
I would recommend listening to the TED talks linked over "Predictably Irrational". I feel like the books don't really go into much more detail if you grok the talks -- a couple new experiment anecdotes is about it.
