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

2.0

"One of the smartest books of all time". Common? The concepts in this book were nothing new and should have been understood by all graduates studying even entry-level statistics. Don't find Taleb interesting either as a person. In sum, to quote Tabel "I wonder if the book could be worth my time?", the answer is a striking no! Think people need to revisit their view on this book. Quite sure the 4.08 rating would have been different if no one saw the prior rating from the 50 000+ readers or had heard about it before, aka anchoring.
