@PTetlock -- Is the future knowable, and by whom? All pundits and commentators should publish their prediction track records, yet don't.

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman -- Captivating dive into human decision making, marred by inclusion of several/many? psychology studies that fail to replicate. Will stand as a cautionary tale? https://twitter.com/degenrolf/status/832484413602553856?lang=en … https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555 …

Rolf Degen @DegenRolfDaniel Kahneman admits that he was wrong about "social priming" in his world bestseller "Thinking Fast and Slow". https://replicationindex.wordpress.com/2017/02/02/reconstruction-of-a-train-wreck-how-priming-research-went-of-the-rails/comment-page-1/#comment-1454 … pic.twitter.com/mBcIUDXJmp15 replies 65 retweets 794 likesShow this thread -
Thinking in Bets by
@AnnieDuke -- Compact guide to probabilistic domains like poker, or venture capital. Best articulation of "resulting", drawing bad conclusions from confusing process and outcome. Recommend for people operating in the real world.https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Bets-Making-Smarter-Decisions/dp/0735216355/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530827598&sr=1-1&keywords=thinking+in+bets …13 replies 92 retweets 1,161 likesShow this thread -
The Spider Network by
@davidenrich -- "Billions"-esque saga of global financial market manipulation, at mind-boggling scale and hiding in plain sight, by a small cabal of bankers in London.https://www.amazon.com/Spider-Network-Scheming-Bankers-Greatest/dp/0062452991/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530827811&sr=1-1&keywords=spider+network …4 replies 55 retweets 685 likesShow this thread -
A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy by William B. Irvine -- Best (?) walk through the ancient/current philosophy of Stoicism. You can't control other people but you can control yourself, so do that. https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195374614/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530828113&sr=1-1&keywords=a+guide+to+the+good+life …

The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga -- Smash hit in Japan, and easy to see why. Adlerian psychology meets Stoic philosophy in Socratic dialogue. Compelling from front to back. Highly recommend.https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1501197274/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1530828519&sr=1-1&keywords=courage+to+be+disliked …

Replying to @pmarca
This looks so interesting. How does it compare to Guide to the Good Life? (That's one of my fave books of all time.)

I’ve read both. VERY different. GGL is an explanation of stoicism, CBL is a long, Socratic-style conversation between an Adlerian philosopher and a skeptical (in modern sense of the word) teen
