ChatGPT predicts my review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐½
This book is basically a long, well-argued reminder that most people (myself included) have no idea how much luck is doing the heavy lifting. Taleb is annoying in a very Taleb way, but the ideas are strong enough that I didn’t care — I’m now permanently suspicious of success stories, hot hands, and my own confidence.
