Do you really think that some of these have low overlap with CFAR workshops/other random memes people are likely to be exposed to? I didn’t get much out of Kahneman when I read him and it sounds like Don’t Shoot the Dog might be similar in that regard (especially with CFAR overlap).
I felt like the overlap was relatively low, but it’s good to have another data point from you. Unfortunately, reading DStD and going to CFAR happened to me long enough ago that I’m having a hard time doing an informational diff, although I think I can remember several important & useful ideas from DStD that CFAR didn’t cover.
(It might be useful to clarify that although these are all some of my favorite books, I’m still a little bearish on book-reading in general relative to what the best blog posts have to offer. So a good alternate framing for this post might be “if you’re the kind of person who reads books regularly (e.g. you listen to audiobooks on your commute or you hate reading on computer screens), here are some I recommend”. And yes, I expect the ROI to be lower for people who have already invested substantial time and energy in self-improvement.)
Did you finish Kahneman, by the way? My dad and I both got the impression that the book starts a little slow/dry but gets significantly more interesting.
