Nassim Taleb's "Fooled By Randomness" book is very interesting. It forces us to look beyond our own reflection in the mirror and instead think about what our reflection could look like in a different time and under different circumstances. Many of us are scared to really admit, that luck plays a much larger factor in our lives then we care to admit, especially with trading. Because with luck as a variable, we have to come to terms with the fact that we do not have as much control as think we do, it's really quite scary if you think about it.
