getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

The past decade has witnessed the release of many books about risk management and assessment, but none have managed to illustrate the role that random events play in life and markets as well as Nissim Nicholas Taleb's latest work. Writing in a leisurely and personal style that makes his complex subject utterly accessible, Taleb instructs us on how to account for randomness in our decision making, and illustrates the many ways in which we confuse luck with skill. getAbstract highly recommends this book, which many investors will wish they had read in, say, 1994.
