Risk, probability, and how our brains are easily misled

I read Mlodinow's book (The Drunkard's Walk) last year and really enjoyed it.

Somewhat ironically, I seem to have become anchored around Kahneman & Tversky in terms of this line of research. Can someone recommend a good counterpoint? I'm looking into Gigerenzer now

I enjoyed Gigerenzer's Gut Feelings quite a bit. I was afraid from the title that it would be Gladwell-ized into mush, but came away quite happy that it wasn't. As a counterpoint to K&T it's very good, less because of any disagreement in their findings, and more for the difference in perspective on the whole subject.
