Fooled by Randomness : The Hidden Role Paperback – 1 January 2007

The language is dense — unmistakably that of a true scientist — but it's rich with insight. Gems are scattered throughout the text, waiting to be discovered. I recommend reading it slowly, pausing often to reflect or highlight the subtle points you might otherwise miss. I’m already on a second pass, marking ideas I overlooked the first time. I’m especially glad the author didn’t simplify the language at an editor’s suggestion — that would’ve stripped the book of its distinctive voice and the unique pleasure of slow, thoughtful reading.

Liked the theme

Not an easy read, but a peek into the depth of human machinery and the faults that lay around causing biases. Starting point for introspecting oneself into being a deep thinker, a good starting point.

Awasome book.

Loved it.I could relate with the context even without any background in finance or economics. I am happy to have purchased it

Quality of pages not Penguin.

It completely changes the perspective in everything. Although some concepts take time to understand but it’s worth the waiting. The black swans in everything (Market, Career, life) exists so we can accept those instead of controlling it.Thank you

In the book Taleb says the value of a decision should be judged not on its outcome, but on whether it was the best possible choice at the time. Many such beautiful insights that will get you to understand luck and uncertainty better.
