Many of these are good

I like the first two especially.

I like the first two especially.

I like them as titles... for a somewhat different book focussed more on actual human psychology.

I don't know. Bayesian updating isn't human-mind-specific and isn't the way the human mind naturally works; the first two titles especially seem to undercut that.

There already is a book called The Owner's Manual for the Brain.
EDIT: fixed typo.

The second one is already a book.
