Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets (Incerto Book 1)

Fooled by Randomness is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Talebâ€™s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we donâ€™t understand. The other books in the series are The Black Swan, Antifragile, and The Bed of Procrustes.

â€œ[Taleb is] Wall Streetâ€™s principal dissident. . . . [Fooled By Randomness] is to conventional Wall Street wisdom approximately what Martin Lutherâ€™s ninety-nine theses were to the Catholic Church.â€
â€“Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker

Finally in paperback, the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about the markets and the world.This book is about luck: more precisely how we perceive luck in our personal and professional experiences.

Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skillâ€“the world of businessâ€“Fooled by Randomness is an irreverent, iconoclastic, eye-opening, and endlessly entertaining exploration of one of the least understood forces in all of our lives.
