Fooled by Randomness : The Hidden Role: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets Paperback – 3 May 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

Book-Level: AdvancedThe book brings "randomness" to the centre of the thought process. The idea that history is just one sample path randomly chosen from all the available sample paths at that point was explained well.Author, as expected, and seen on YouTube videos, does have a different attitude and tone on his writing, but I feel it suits him.Solon's explanation on who is luckiest was a good one too. There are several other characters and points which are explained well but probably I either couldn't recollect as I am writing this review OR I simply glanced them through.Nevertheless, this did make me fan of NNT, and worth a re-read.
