Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Taleb. Changed my life and my perspective on doing business, building company and understanding luck. Such a classic. Also honourable mention: Super Pumped by Mike Isaac. Great read on the legendary Travis' journey.

I loved that book. It's too bad that all other books by him are more or less or a recap of FbR. I still laugh at his portraits of the OTHER brokers.

This is my favorite of all his works. I feel like you can derive a lot of his other work if you payed attention in undergraduate probability theory and took Fooled by Randomness to heart.

Super Pumped is a really well written page turner, and the subject is really interesting.

I bought all the other books of him after reading Skin In the Game.

Insanely nice book and it was easy to read!
