kahawa 's review for:

The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow

5.0

One of the best books I've read on randomness, probability and cognitive biases. It was a bit like 'Fooled by Randomness', but less angst, and less random, and more history. There were some heavy parts, but they were followable. A few times he missed the opportunity to expand on a topic, I thought. I wish I'd taken notes though. What he said was correct, but there was a bit more to the story. It's not a big deal. I think I might read this again in a couple years. Next time I'll take notes.
