If you haven't already seen it, I heavily recommend Tyler Cowen's "Discover Your Inner Economist". The review in The Economist was spot on: it's more self-help than strict economics:
It stands apart from its predecessors by making its revelations not so much about the way the world works as about the way we ourselves work (and play) and how we can take practical steps to do both better.
The interesting thing about it is Tyler's Austrianism. He acknowledged in an interview with Russ Roberts that writing the book brought him back to his subjectivist roots, and seems to take a more radical view than his previous work on business cycles or entrepreneurship. The Economist declares:
The version of economics advanced here has nothing to do with algebra or interest rates. It is economics in Ludwig von Mises's formulation of a “logic of choice”.
Maybe everyone's inner economist is an Austrian.
