"The Hard Part is Actually Changing Your Mind" is the absolute worst from that list. It tells someone absolutely nothing -- hard part of what? Changing your mind because of what? It's not even clear what the topic of the book would be. Could be a political memior, for all I know.

I like a variant on Dahlen's suggestion: Methods of Rationality: A Less Wrong Guide to Beliefs, Biases and Bayesianism.

"... to Beliefs, Biases, and Bayes" is shorter and snappier.

Reverend Bayes isn't someone to be idolized, because we're not looking for idols. The emphasis should be on Bayesianism, I think.
