Fooled by Randomness - The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets

This book is another version of his bestseller “The Black Swan”, only more fatalistic. The main idea he wants to convey is that we underestimate the impact of randomness in life and attribute success or failure to skill, when it’s luck that has often played a significant role. He keeps emphasizing that skill reveals itself only over time, while luck dominates short-term results.

It is true that every positive-thinking book you read or motivational speech you hear focuses too much on successful outcomes while ignoring unseen failures. It is very important to understand both success and failure.

Never Split the Difference - Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It

I did the audio version of the book and was initially put off by the narrator’s dramatic voice. I decided to ignore the nasal accent and pay attention to the content, and I am happy that I persisted. This book is a treasure. I like how it combines crime scenes and professional as well as personal scenarios. The concepts of behavioral economics ““ loss aversion, anchoring bias, and more ““ are explained very well through the real-life crime and drama stories.
