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

5.0

I love this book. It's like a course in critical thinking and the use of the scientific method to make important decisions instead of falling into a number of errors of logic that seem to be the defaults for the human mind throughout history. It's also frequently hilarious. I wish this book had existed, and I'd read it, when I was in high school, and if I had the power to do so, I'd make it a required course there now. Of course, that would never fly, given that it would equip people to see through the nonsense foisted on us by politicians, pundits, and advertisers.
