具体描述
Everyone wants to succeed in life. But what causes some of us to be more successful than others? Is it really down to skill and strategy - or something altogether more unpredictable? This book is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. 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. This irreverent bestseller has shattered the illusions of people around the world by teaching them how to recognize randomness. Now it can do the same for you.
作者简介
Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge. Part literary essayist, part empiricist, part no-nonsense mathematical trader, he is currently the Dean's Professor in the Sciences of Uncertainty at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The international bestseller Fooled by Randomness has been published in eighteen languages. Taleb lives (mostly) in New York.

读后感
某同学向我推荐这本书的时候说，这是一本数学书，其中的内容有些晦涩难懂，需要花点功夫理解，但是最后还不失为一本对投资生涯有意义的书。于是我怀着敬畏之心开始了阅读，可是我很快发现，与其说这是一本数学书，倒不如说这是本哲学书，而且是一本非常聪明的哲学书。 这位狂...
评分给四星是因为作者所推崇的“科学的可证伪性”，那一星的空白权当是尊重作者本意使之“科学化”了。还是Robert Shiller的金融市场课的参考书目。课听到一半倒是把书搜出来一口气一个通宵给看完了。颠覆啊！作者不相信投资组合那套，评价巴菲特的简朴作风“毫无必要”。这里探讨...
评分西方哲学史上被公认为第一位哲学家的希腊人泰勒斯，原本是一个商人，但是他却不好好挣钱，总是研究些没有用的事情。有一天，泰勒斯走在旷野间，抬头看着星空，结果不防脚下一个坑，掉进坑里摔个半死。于是希腊人笑话说，哲学家都是些没用的人。 泰勒斯很给哲...
评分 评分关于数字与概率 我们迟早会了解概率终究是个用来看问题的定性手法，它是怀疑之子。数学主要是用来作为冥思的工具，而不是当作计算工具使用。真正的随机现象看起来并不随机。 讨论概率问题时我不建议会计师参加。对会计师来说，数字就是数字。如果他对概率有兴趣，早就投入...
