Books like Human inference by Richard E. Nisbett

Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" explains how two distinct mental systems shape our judgments and decisions, offering insights into the biases that influence everyday choices.

Rolf Dobelli presents 99 concise chapters that explain everyday cognitive biases, showing how awareness can sharpen decision‑making at work and in life.

This book offers a unified theory of the major propertries of mind, including comprehension, inference, and consciousness. The author argues that we apprehend the world by building inner mental replicas of the relationships among objects and events that concern us. The mind is essentially a model-building device that can itself be modeled on a computer. The book provides a blueprint for building such a model and numberous important illustrations of how to do it.

From the author's introduction (italics his): "Truth is the object of thinking. Some truths are obvious; others are difficult of attainment. Correct thinking is a prime necessity in the solution of complicated problems, and logic enables us to think correctly. Logic *is the science of those principles, laws and methods which the mind of man in its thinking must follow for the accurate and secure attainment of truth*. Ordinary man has natural logic or common sense. *Scientific* logic is natural logic trained and developed to expertness. Logic as a *science* consists of a comprehensive body of established principles and laws with their legitimate conclusions; logic as an *art* is the mastery if the technique embodied in these principles and laws. *Ideas, judgments, and inferences* are the elements which enter into the operations of the mind in its attainment of truth. Scientific *methods* are also of importance for this purpose. Hence, logic will treat of ideas, judgments, deductive and inductive inferences. "
