EDIT2: I'm reposting my original comment because the last one was removed. I think the reason it was removed was because I used a link shortener for the amazon links. Anyway, here's the original comment, now with really long motherfuckin URLs.

I've been lurking on this sub for quite a while under a number of accounts and I'm constantly surprised that so few people here are familiar with Gigerenzer's work. He's made a lot of progress undoing the damage done by Tversky and Kahneman's Heuristics and Biases Program and I think anyone intrinsically interested in human rationality will immediately see the value of Gigerenzer's work in this regard. The paper I linked is a must read for anyone who is familiar with T&K's work and might be wondering how the narrative that they constructed could be described as "damaging" to society.

EDIT: Just hijacking my own comment to list a few book recommendations. From another comment:
>> A book not written by someone unaware of the existence of computational complexity and Bayesian statistics

>Man, Gigerenzer is the motherfucker for which you're looking. One of the books I've listed below could be right up your alley. The first is a textbook, but mostly because of its density, rather than difficulty. The other three are a bit more tailored toward people with less background knowledge but you might still prefer one of those if the content sounds interesting. Lots of people enjoyed "Risk Savvy", but I'd choose the one with a table of contents that speaks to your interests.

Heuristics: The Foundations of Adaptive Behavior

Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious

Risk Savvy: How to Make Good Decisions
