How much non-Eliezer stuff is there on the practical "how to" of rationality, e.g. on techniques for improving one's accuracy in the manner that Something to protect, Leave a line of retreat, The bottom line, and taking care not to rehearse the evidence might improve one's accuracy?

EDIT: Sorry to add to the comment after Carl's response. I had the above list in there already, but omitted an "http://", which caused the second half of my sentence to somehow not show up.

There's Robyn Dawes's Rational Choice in an Uncertain World which is highly similar in spirit, intent, and style to the kind of defeat-the-bias writing in the Sequences. (And it's quoted accordingly when I borrow something.)
