He is also famous for The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, and Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and Markets, all of which are worth reading.
I used to recommend that order too, but I think for people new to NNT, they'd get a better overview of his ideas from Antifragile. But I absolutely recommend reading all the Incerto.
[Taleb is] Wall Street’s principal dissident. . . . [Fooled By Randomness] is to conventional Wall Street wisdom approximately what Martin Luther’s ninety-nine theses were to the Catholic Church.
We need a book like this . . . fun to read, refreshingly independent-minded.
Great book!
Good Stuff.
