Trending 📚 Recommendations
Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets: In this landmark work, Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the role of luck and randomness in our lives and businesses. He delves into how we often mistake luck for skill, especially in trading, and how we overestimate causality due to our inherent biases. The book is filled with characters who have understood the significance of chance in their own ways, including Yogi Berra, Karl Popper, Solon, George Soros, and Ulysses. Taleb also introduces the concept of the "lucky fool," who benefits from being in the right place at the right time but cannot replicate their success because it is rooted in chance.
