This audiobook is an abridged version of (Not) Perfect Accident. How chance rules our life. » Only the most important: ideas, techniques, key quotes.
It is natural for a person not to recognize the role of chance in his life. It seems to us that each event has specific reasons: for example, success in any business depends solely on ability and experience. Such a relationship does exist, but it is not direct, as we used to think. In fact, chance plays a more important role in our life. Therefore, in assessing situations, it is better to be guided not by intuition, but by logic, probability theory and mathematical laws.
American physicist Leonard Mlodinov in his book «(Not) Perfect Accident» captivatingly and simply talks about the principles of the theory of probability, the laws of statistics, the meaning of chance and patterns in everyday events.
The author argues that it is easier for a person to live when he understands the nature of randomness and knows how to assess the probability of events. This will help not only to better understand the essence of the situation, but also to act more successfully, guided by logic, and not intuition.
