I pass on links to four books that I'm very tempted to buy and read:
Mindware: Tools for Smart Thinking - Richard E. Nisbett
A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design - Frank Wilczek
Machines of Loving Grace: The Quest for Common Ground Between Humans and Robots - John Markoff
Cool: How the Brain's Hidden Quest for Cool Drives Our Economy and Shapes Our World - Steven Quartz and Anette Asp
