In this irreverent and illuminating book, acclaimed writer and scientist Leonard Mlodinow shows us how randomness, change, and probability reveal a tremendous amount about our daily lives, and how we misunderstand the significance of everything from a casual conversation to a major financial setback. As a result, successes and failures in life are often attributed to clear and obvious cases, when in actuality they are more profoundly influenced by chance.

The rise and fall of your favorite movie star of the most reviled CEO--in fact, of all our destinies--reflects as much as planning and innate abilities. Even the legendary Roger Maris, who beat Babe Ruth's single-season home run record, was in all likelihood not great but just lucky. And it might be shocking to realize that you are twice as likely to be killed in a car accident on your way to buying a lottery ticket than you are to win the lottery.

How could it have happened that a wine was given five out of five stars, the highest rating, in one journal and in another it was called the worst wine of the decade? Mlodinow vividly demonstrates how wine ratings, school grades, political polls, and many other things in daily life are less reliable than we believe. By showing us the true nature of change and revealing the psychological illusions that cause us to misjudge the world around us, Mlodinow gives fresh insight into what is really meaningful and how we can make decisions based on a deeper truth. From the classroom to the courtroom, from financial markets to supermarkets, from the doctor's office to the Oval Office, Mlodinow's insights will intrigue, awe, and inspire.

Offering readers not only a tour of randomness, chance, and probability but also a new way of looking at the world, this original, unexpected journey reminds us that much in our lives is about as predictable as the steps of a stumbling man fresh from a night at the bar.

醉汉的脚步虽然是一本数学科普书,实则在探讨人生观了。我们的大脑习惯于因果性,不适应随机性,会事后诸葛亮的赋予结果以原因和模式,会羊群效应般的从众,这些也许出于本能中对安全的需求。 这本书至少给出了认识客观事实、认识成败、思索人生的另一个角度。既然随机性在事...

除了介绍基本统计和概率的概念,还有关于专家的人物介绍,满有趣的。 人物描述都非常的生动,比如,从前的学习,只知道Fisher创立了好多tests, 现在,这些专家不再仅仅是一些枯燥的名字,更是有血肉的人了。 统计基本概念方面,我想这本书是除了课本以外,讲的最好的了。而且...
