"You are not so smart" by David McRane touches the same topic. It goes through the long list of ways we are fooling our selves or "not being as smart as we think we are". And for each case he is also referencing the studies proving this.

He also has a blog with the same name as the book that covers the same topics (I believe the book came out of the blog): http://youarenotsosmart.com
