Your phrasing it this way reminds me of the excellent book Algorithms to Live By. Highly recommended!

I loved "Algorithms to Live By" by Brian Christian and tom Griffiths. It's not quite as focused on the technical side of things as the books you listed, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Optimal Stopping is the first chapter of Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths' book Algorithms to Live By, which does a good job describing the problem in laymen terms.
