Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets

Luck's deceptive role in success and failure.

If you're someone who enjoys probing the deeper mechanisms that control our successes and failures, "Fooled by Randomness" is bound to challenge and enrich your understanding. Taleb uses a thrilling blend of personal anecdotes from his trading days and philosophical musings to unravel our misconceptions regarding chance. This book is not just a captivating narrative but also a mind-bending examination of how randomness influences our world, in ways that are often overlooked or misunderstood. It's perfect if you find pleasure in questioning conventional wisdom and appreciate a narrative that can toggle between enlightening and entertaining.
