In life, we try not to rely on chance, we try to “control our destiny,” make “informed decisions” and “keep everything under control,” but in fact, we often mistake chance for a pattern, confuse cause and effect, and our thinking lacks criticality. Intellectual myopia and overconfidence often cost us very, very dearly. Chance can be the basis of both success and failure. It is impossible to predict a random event, but you can prepare for it and even try to turn it to your advantage. This is exactly what Nassim Taleb, a successful trader, mathematician and philosopher, tries to teach in his book. “The only point that Lady Luck cannot control is your behavior. Good luck to you!" (Nassim Taleb).The book will be of interest to all thinkers, doubters and believers.
