Daniel Gilbert is a famous Harvard psychologist who performed a lot of interesting experiments that show just how flawed and biased the human mind is.

My favorite psychology book is "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. This book helped me to stop living in the past or worrying too much about the future. All we really have is the present.
