Fooled by Randomness – Seeing Through the Illusion of Success
What if success isn’t always skill—and failure isn’t always your fault?
In this episode of Booxbox, we explore Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a powerful and eye-opening look at how luck, chance, and randomness silently shape our lives, decisions, and outcomes—especially in business, investing, and success.
Taleb challenges everything we think we know about control, cause and effect, and “winners.” This book doesn’t just change your thinking—it protects it.
We dive into:
How randomness can trick you into false confidence
Why we overestimate skill and underestimate luck
How to make better decisions in a world full of uncertainty
If you're ready to stop chasing illusions and start making smarter, more grounded choices—this episode is for you.
