Hi Jim--
To clarify, are you looking for a cognitive psych book "for the masses"?
Not knowing for sure what you are looking for, I'll give a suggestion or two anyway.
1) How We Know What Isn't So-- by Gilovich
2) The Psychology of Judgment and Decision Making -- by Scott Plous
One of the things I like about the Plous book is the quiz/survey at the beginning. In the chapters of his book, integrates those quiz questions [and answers] to illustrate of different types of judgmental and decision making tendencies (e.g., confirmation bias, attribution errors, availability heuristic, etc.)
