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

3.0

This book is another piece of evidence in favor of my theory that smart people write good books. Although many of the ideas in this book were already familiar to me from reading other books (e.g. [b:Thinking, Fast and Slow|11468377|Thinking, Fast and Slow|Daniel Kahneman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1317793965l/11468377._SX50_.jpg|16402639]; [b:The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns|171127|The Little Book of Common Sense Investing The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns|John C. Bogle|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1347673616l/171127._SX50_.jpg|165246]), the author has obviously meditated on and deeply assimilated the subject such that he is able to write about it in a way that is precise yet extremely accessible.
