As a non-veteran Less Wronger, I found this book both enjoyable and valuable.
The value came from the same place as the enjoyment - despite knowing about our many flaws in thinking (I've read the sequences and a few rationality books), it's different when you see real-world examples. Specifically, this book partially motivated me to start re-learning the actual math (e.g. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/economics/14-30-introduction-to-statistical-methods-in-economics-spring-2009/lecture-notes/).
The Udacity Statistics 101 course (that I started before summer but, hmm, am now on extended hiatus from) covers much the same ground, apparently. If you're into video courses with optional Python programming exercises.
