You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself - David McRaney Solid collection of cognitive (et al) psych cases.

In book form though, being put down at the end of every chapter made this feel depressing.
