A review is presented of the book “Heuristics and Biases: The Psychology of Intuitive Judgment,” edited by Thomas Gilovich, Dale Griffin, and Daniel Kahneman.
The hot hand in basketball: On the misperception of random sequences
To do or to have? That is the question.
TLDR
Evidence that experiences make people happier is focused on because they are more open to positive reinterpretations, are a more meaningful part of one's identity, and contribute more to successful social relationships.
How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life

TLDR
Evidence is presented that insufficient adjustment produces anchoring effects when the anchors are self-generated, and it is suggested it is time to reintroduce anchoring and adjustment as an explanation for some judgments under uncertainty.
The temporal pattern to the experience of regret.
