Maybe we can start to build up a repository of those things, too. So far, you've recommended:
Unfortunately, those works seem incredibly different to me, so it's hard for me to guess which other works you would also endorse as being in the "LW spirit." I'll try anyway:
How about:
Written by a psychologist-philosopher (literally), it reads exactly like a Sequence on five-second approaches to a wide array of thinking errors, carefully cataloged and taxonomized with the information needed to get out of them... and most of them are not thinking errors that have previously been cataloged on LW.
(Even what we commonly refer to here under the heading of "sunk-cost fallacy" is given a much more rigorous, "five-second level" analysis, showing how we get stuck in that fallacy all day long doing ordinary things. Forget sticking with a big multi-year project, he shows how we can get skewered by this fallacy in doing things that take five minutes.)
There should be more (literal) philosopher-psychologists.
