Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Taleb. Changed my life and my perspective on doing business, building company and understanding luck. Such a classic. Also honourable mention: Super Pumped by Mike Isaac. Great read on the legendary Travis' journey.


I loved that book. It's too bad that all other books by him are more or less or a recap of FbR. I still laugh at his portraits of the OTHER brokers.


This is my favorite of all his works. I feel like you can derive a lot of his other work if you payed attention in undergraduate probability theory and took Fooled by Randomness to heart.


Super Pumped is a really well written page turner, and the subject is really interesting.


I bought all the other books of him after reading Skin In the Game.

Insanely nice book and it was easy to read!


Two thumbs up for every book by Nassim Taleb!
