I had my first book published. It's a textbook for upper elementary school, and I'm reasonably confident it is the only such textbook in the world that includes

  • an explanation of the planning fallacy

  • a description of confirmation bias and survivor bias

  • a sub-section titled "What do you think you know and why do you think you know it?".

Title and link to buy?

Unfortunately it's written in Finnish.

I understand that even books written in Finnish not infrequently have titles and are available for purchase.

Sometimes, yes.

Well, if you're still interested: the book is called "Opastin" and here's a link to buy it. I don't believe they ship outside Finland, though.
