I found chaos theory to be pretty unimpressive - correct but obvious. Chaos theory in a nutshell: unstable systems are unpredictable
NeoCortex Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 Black Swan and Anti-Fragile by Nicholas Nassim Taleb are both awesome books Chaos by James Gleick is the only book I've read on Chaos theory. I found chaos theory to be pretty unimpressive - correct but obvious. Chaos theory in a nutshell: unstable systems are unpredictable I did read Anti-Fragile, got me interested into looking into chaos theory more. I like your tl;dr! Haha Any other books you enjoyed lately? Know any worthwhile books on the Federal Reserve?
Brentb Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I haven't ready any books on the Federal Reserve. I've heard good things about The Creature from Jekyll Island . If you were interested in Anti-Fragile from a market perspective, then you might like Peter Schiff's books which discuss the instabilities in the equities markets and why they'll crash. The latest good books that I've read in the past month are: Bourbon for Breakfast By Jeffrey Tucker The Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Branden Tommo and Hawk by Bryce Courtenay Right now I'm reading a book on the subconscious that has a lot of woo woo bs to sift through, but may have some value in tapping into and using the subconscious more effectively. I'm going to look more toward books on the "unconscious mind" since that's the psychiatric term, while "subconscious" seems to be in greater use by the kind of people the promote "The Secret".
