The single most useful book I ever read
3 min readOct 17, 2021
My measure by which I find a book useful is the likelihood that I am going to read it again and again and again.
For that to happen a book has of course to be well written but has to also hold lots of nuggets of information and insight that I use again and again. Against this criteria the most useful book I have ever read is “Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Its by far the best written of all of Taleb’s books and easily the most useful.
