Reddit reviews The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

I enjoy reading anything Charlie Munger has written (or said). If you don't know, he is Warren Buffett's business partner, and one of the things he promotes tirelessly is reading and understanding mental models from other domains. So in reading Munger, you tend to get some second-hand insights into different mental models.

Munger has also spent his life trying to understand human rationality and irrationality in order to make himself a more rational investor. He has some significant things to say about that that are very insightful.

Someone recently posted a 350 page compendium of Munger's writings and speeches. I'm sure you can find it easily by Googling.

You might also read stuff by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. They spent their careers essentially studying rational and irrational behaviors, and behavioral economics owes a huge debt to them. Michael Lewis just wrote a book about them and their collaboration called The Undoing Project. Having never read a less-than-fascinating book by Michael Lewis, I'll stick my neck out and say it's probably worth reading.

Finally, if you can stand his style and unmitigated pomposity, Nassim Nicholas Taleb has written a few interesting things. The two books I found most interesting (and rewarding) were Fooled By Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets and The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable.
