In Fooled by Randomness, Taleb takes the reader on a fascinating journey through our perceptions of success, failure and luck. He takes the mathematics and psychology of probability and explains them with reference to the financial markets and life in general.

At the end of the journey, the reader is left with a deep understanding of the role randomness plays in all our lives.
