  Soon to be a classic within the business community. Not an easy read, but Taleb is the only analyst who truly captures and explains the "why" behind the "what" on Wall Street. Completely changes your appreciation of the value of expert opinion and the complete failure of long term forecasting. Reading this book has changed the way I look at decision making in my daily work. This book is currently being passed around corporate offices like Tom Peters popular texts did over 20 years ago. You won't regret reading this.
