I like Gerd Gigerenzer's book Calculated Risks: How to Know When Numbers Deceive You

http://www.amazon.com/Calculated-Risks-Know-Numbers-Deceive/...

for readable training in rational thinking. Interestingly, Gigerenzer's more recent books have focused more on strategies for using standard human thought processes, which may not be strictly rational, to reach correct decisions. I haven't read those books yet as closely as I have read Calculated Risks.
