I was wondering if anyone could throw out psychology-related book recommendations.

I was interested in buying Please Understand Me II, which by the looks of its reviews, clearly left an impact on a lot of people. Also, Martin Seligman put out a truly fascinating book on Positive Psychology. Both seem like great reads for the future.

Has anyone read either one of them?

What books do you recommend?

Anything philosophy related imho since philosophy and psychology are somewhat related. Honestly I can't think of any psychology related books since I'd like to know of some my self.

Straight and Crooked Thinking by Robert H. Thouless.. I may have mentioned this elsewhere before, but as far as it is concerned with Psychology and Logic, it provides a great basis to critical thought.
