You might be put off by Taleb's credentials -- he is a PhD Mathematician specializing in probability and a trader of derivatives, worlds beyond our intuitive understanding that can be frustratingly inaccessible. But this is not a textbook; it reads like a conversation, one with an extremely intelligent, curious, and engaging person. You will not be taking any chances in dedicating time to read this book.
