Hey Shawn,

Thanks for the awesome list of books, I already added a few to my reading list!

I'm curious if you have any book recommendations for fighting unconscious bias? I feel as people move towards data-driven decision making, we can still fall victim to things like confirmation bias when making "objective" decisions.

Hey Marco, how about Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow"?

And I read Thomas Gilovich's "How We Know What Isn't So" in college.

Also consider Thinking in Bets, Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, and Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions.

I love Thinking, Fast and Slow and actually just got Predictably Irrational the other day!

Adding the other two to my reading list as well. Thanks again for all the great recommendations!

Hi Shawn Axsom thanks for sharing this massive list.

I was very intrigued by the term "super-cooperators". I used to be a grad student, researching creativity, for what is worth. And I remember spending a lot of time thinking about group-wise creativity!

May I suggest an additional resource? It's a book. Teresa Amabile's The Social Psychology of Creativity.

It is more on the academic side. But it's a beautiful book. Sadly a little hard to find. But I really like it because it re-frames creativity as a social-psychological process. And Amabile is one of the pioneers of the so-called "sociocultural" approach to creativity.

I really like it, and I think fits nicely with your overall message!
