It is all about luck: more precisely, how we perceive luck in our personal and professional experiences. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the markets - we hear an entrepreneur has 'vision' or a trader is 'talented', but all too often their performance is down to chance rather than skill. It is only because we fail to understand probability that we continue to believe events are non-random, finding reasons where none exist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'One of the smartest books of all time'\u003ci\u003e Fortune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'An iconoclastic tour de force ... nothing escapes his Exocets'\u003ci\u003e Evening Standard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Brilliant' John Kay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Excellent and thought-provoking ... an entertaining book' \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Wall Street's principal dissident' Malcolm Gladwell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eTaleb, Nassim Nicholas\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNassim Nicholas Taleb\u003c\/b\u003e spent twenty-one years as a risk taker before becoming a researcher in philosophical, mathematical, and (mostly) practical problems with probability.
