Title: Don't waste your money!
Product review: (...) There's nothing here which would surprise anyone even remotely acquainted with the market; it's just a shallow and poorly-structured rehash of well-known ideas, mixed in with a few ill-timed rants and some copious name-dropping by the author. If you're interested in behavioural economics (which I heartily recommend), then try Belsky & Gilovich's popular book or some of the excellent online articles; if you want market war stories, then "Liar's Poker", "When Genius Failed", and "Inventing Money" are all far better bets.The one thing I can say in Taleb's praise is that he raises some nice ironies in a self-reflexive sort of way. One of his "big ideas" is survivorship bias, to which the publication of this book provides a counter-example.
