“Thinking fast and slow”: an introduction to the psychology of “intuition” versus “thinking through”. Really informative and engaging.

“Whistling Vivaldi”: a book on college education, its social aspect and the role of race in all this. Extremely enlightening on the state of education in US, but with a lot of material applicable anywhere.
