This is a favorite of mine. Mr Taleb presents observations that lead to the conclusion that humans are extremely biased toward a belief in structure that is in fact rare if not nonexistent. Numerous examples and descriptive illustrations isolate our amazing ability to create a universe of causality to protect ourselves from randomness. His words do not require belief or a leap of faith for he merely arrays common occurances to allow you to draw your own conclusions. Not that he isn't an opinionated crank, he just makes that unimportant to his subject by not asserting - only presenting. Everyone should experience this eye opening examination of randomness - not just market people. Randomness is not just an important part of your life, it is the most important.
It is nice book.

Author feels smarter than the rest of the world when he discovers that life is uncertain. Book then describes how he uses this observation as a stock market trader. A few useful tidbits result.
