Note that my chapter list was geared towards the LW community and people already familiar with the sequences. I should have made that more explicit. My list had the chapters that surprised me most / taught me something new. I would have put forth a very different list if I was ordering them by usefulness to newcomers. I assumed that the community is already familiar with conjunction bais, the affect heuristic, the anchoring effect, and the other big names.

I may be suffering from false consensus; I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts.
