Brain Bugs. How the brain flaws shape our lives. Dean Buonomano. 2012

Audiobook. I picked up this one thinking "why am I reading yet another popularization book on this subject?" Alas, not all books are the same, even if the material on this book overlaps with several others on the subject, and I can't identify any new ideas, this is one of the most entertaining and well put books on the subject I've read (or listen to), eloquent and illustrative, I'd recommend it to everyone as an introductory book on the subject. It quotes Pinker, quotes Kahneman (thinking fat and slow), but it is more entertaining than the latter.
A very good read
