Fooled by Randomness - Prof Nassim Taleb
How pure chance can be mistaken for success/skill. Complete with PROOF and reasoning unlike many books which just claim that "this-and-this are correct".
A must read for anyone into financial literacy. It is vital to understand if what you're doing or paying for is worth your while or just an illusion of randomness.

No difference from reading a university textbooks on financial and accounting If you think Fooled by Randomness is as complicated as uni text then you obviously have not read a real uni text or research journal. Fooled by Randomness is more of a casual read compared to those monstrosities. Well, no one say financial literacy is easy.  |

tay, have you gone bonkers? from what i can see tom isn't participating in this thread.
personally, i'm puzzled as to why you would make such a unsubstantiated remark like : "No difference from reading a university textbooks on financial and accounting".
since you haven't read "Fooled by Randomness" in the first place. after spending thousands of dollars on courses/seminars/gurus, haven't you learn not to judge based only on your own biased opinion??

The purpose of this is actually to share with others the top 5(or top 10?) books that has had an impact on your life. (for the better of course!) Books which you consider an excellent read and have derived benefit off and comes straight at the top of your head which you would like to share with others. Since i presume that we're all here in spirit of sharing i figured this would be an excellent start!. P.s I still have my fingers crossed, i'm hoping that the moderators would lead by example  .. =X |
