Reddit mentions of Human Evolutionary Psychology

A friend lent me "How the Mind Works" by Stephen Pinker---I liked some of the ideas so much that I went and bought Human Evolutionary Psychology, a very easy-to-read textbook. That helped in clearing up some of the over simplifications and exaggerations that Pinker made.

LessWrong is a community where I learned about heuristics and biases. They approach it from the perspective of learning about the shortcuts our brains make and how we can overcome them to make better decisions.
Here are a couple links:
Planning Fallacy

Hindsight Bias

We change our minds less often than we think


If you are in for a LOT of reading I highly recommend the rest of the Sequences, but that is a little off-topic from what you asked. (These changed my life and way of thinking so I can't help but ship them.)
