I recently read Stuart Sutherland's Irrationality, which also explains a lot of the more common biases and errors in reasoning. Decent book, but -again- probably not a lot of new ideas for less wrongers.

Sutherland's book is good but older.

Sorry, I somehow missed the "recent" in the title.

I read a number of these but particularly liked Sutherland, don't remember why tho.
