Thinking fast and slow..

written by a Nobel prize winner.
It'll tell you about how your brain makes decisions, how to identify biases in your brain and also when you know that you are biased while making a decision and still you take the decision.

attaching some examples from the book, if you looking for something like these then you should read the book and these are just few of many.

example 1:
You meet a woman named Joan at a party and find her personable and
easy to talk to. Now her name comes up as someone who could be asked
to contribute to a charity. What do you know about Joan’s generosity? The
correct answer is that you know virtually nothing, because there is little
reason to believe that people who are agreeable in social situations are
also generous contributors to charities. But you like Joan and you will
retrieve the feeling of liking her when you think of her. You also like
generosity and generous people. By association, you are now
predisposed to believe that Joan is generous. And now that you believe
she is generous, you probably like Joan even better than you did earlier,
because you have added generosity to her pleasant attributes.
Real evidence of generosity is missing in the story of Joan, and the gap
is filled by a guess that fits one’s emotional response to her. In other
situations, evidence accumulates gradually and the interpretation is
shaped by the emotion attached to the first impression.


example 2:

What do you think of Alan and Ben?
Alan: intelligent—industrious—impulsive—critical—stubborn—envious
Ben: envious—stubborn—critical—impulsive—industrious—intelligent

If you are like most of us, you viewed Alan much more favorably than Ben.
The initial traits in the list change the very meaning of the traits that appear
later. The stubbornness of an intelligent person is seen as likely to be
justified and may actually evoke respect, but intelligence in an envious and
stubborn person makes him more dangerous. The halo effect is also an
example of suppressed ambiguity: like the word bank, the adjective
stubborn is ambiguous and will be interpreted in a way that makes it
coherent with the context
