In addition to great books there are many more books I assign to or advise students to read that are more recent publications. My list is very long but most focus on critically examining the evidence for some supposedly known (but, alas, false) phenomenon, or way of thinking about something.
For example, I am half way through Generation Me and think that all students should read it, if only to see how us old folks see them as different from us. I have recommended that one recently to several students as summer reading. So maybe, Sue, you can compile from us a list of more recent books that give insight into psychology and I'll start the list: (Ha! easy for me to suggest someone else do the work!--so please don't see it as putting work off on you; you just do this so well!!!!) Anyway, this is a very abbreviated list just to get started: Sagan, C. Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark Lilienfeld, S. O., Lynn, S. J., Lohr, J. M. Science and Pseudoscience in Clinical Psychology Cialdini, R. Influence : The Psychology of Persuasion della Salla, S. Mind Myths Sapolosy, R. Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers Shermer, M. Why People Believe Weird Things Levitt, S. D., & Dubner, S. J. Freakonomics Wynn, C. M., & Wiggins, A. W.
