If you enjoyed any of Gladwell's books, you might like Dave McRaney. His stuff is a bit dry, but a pretty fascinating look into what is being learned about the human mind by researchers. You can start at his blog and try the books if the topic seems to be of sufficient interest.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
