## Description

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets: 1 (Incerto) : Taleb, Nassim Nicholas: desertcart.in: Books

Review: A Slow Read, Richly Rewarding - 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.
Review: Fooled and then gained by randomness - 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Slow Read, Richly Rewarding
*by S***R on 24 April 2025*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fooled and then gained by randomness
*by N***N on 12 September 2020*

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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ thought provoking!!
*by A***I on 23 May 2025*

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.
