How to spot bullshit and what to do after that. Funny and important book.
Daniel Dennett
Dennett's newest attempt at explaining our minds.
Gad Saad
Bit misleading title for the book full of angry arguments against overly liberal policies mainly in USA. I stopped listening to the audio version of the book circa in the middle.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Taleb introduces another great term—antifragility—which can be found in many areas. And which can be consciously improved. It's more than robustness.
