Description
This audiobook is about luck, or more precisely, how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. It
is already a landmark work and its title has entered our vocabulary. In its second edition, Fooled by
Randomness is now a cornerstone for anyone interested in random outcomes. Set against the backdrop of the
most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill, the world of trading, this audiobook is a
captivating insight into one of the least understood factors of all our lives. In an entertaining narrative style,
the author succeeds in tackling three major intellectual issues: the problem of induction, the survivorship
biases, and our genetic unfitness to the modern word. Taleb uses stories and anecdotes to illustrate our
overestimation of causality and the heuristics that make us view the world as far more explainable than it
actually is. The audiobook is populated with an array of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their
own way, the significance of chance: Yogi Berra, the baseball legend; Karl Popper, the philosopher of
knowledge; Solon, the ancient world's wisest man; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek
voyager Ulysses. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his
professional life, but who also falls victim to his own superstitious foolishness. But the most recognizable
character remains unnamed, the lucky fool in the right place at the right time - the embodiment of the
"Survival of the Least Fit". Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their guru's insights
and methods. But no one can replicate what is obtained through chance. It may be impossible to guard
against the vagaries of the Goddess Fortuna, but after listening to Fooled by Randomness we can be a little
better prepared.
