📝 Description

Nassim Nicholas Taleb's non-fiction book explores the profound role of luck and randomness in life, particularly within financial markets. It challenges conventional notions of success and failure, arguing that people often attribute outcomes to skill when they are largely due to chance. The book delves into cognitive biases and the human tendency to seek patterns where none exist, offering a unique perspective on uncertainty and decision-making.
