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

5.0

A bite-size of Taleb's proposition towards randomness and how to bring yourself to it. As Taleb says, we cannot resist the impact of randomness but rather to be aware that we are prone to it, as a human. A good self-help book (although Taleb wouldn't describe this book as self-help) is not a book that points out the way how to be better since life does not have a single manual. It is a book that tells what is the weakness of us a being and makes us very aware of it. That's one way to describe his works.
There are some repetitions from the previous books (Antifragile and Black Swan), nonetheless, this book would be enough for first-time Taleb readers.
