Checklist of Rationality Habits

What's the book that most influenced you on critical/rational thinking?

The website promotes a list (http://rationality.org/reading/). I have only read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" and I am looking for HN users favorites.

Out of that list:

I found "Predictably Irrational" to repeat a lot of the content about biases from TFTS. Its well written and not a bad book by any means but I regretted the time investment after TFTS.

I found "Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work" to be very practical aiming to giving some real tools to use some of which I hadn't come across before.

There's a book called Seeking Wisdom be Peter Bevelin that I really enjoyed. He also has useful lists of checklists in the back.

Thanks. Seems out of print on Amazon [1]. Adding it to my wishlist anyway, maybe I buy a used one.
