Leonard Mlodinow's book, The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives, is a fascinating and revealing guide to understanding our random world. Randomness and uncertainty surround everything we do. But why are we so bad at understanding them? The same tools that help us understand the random paths of molecules can be applied to the randomness that governs many aspects of our daily lives, from winning the lottery to road safety, and they reveal truths about the success of sports heroes and movie stars, as well as how to interpret a blood test.

The Drunkard's Walk reveals the psychological illusions that prevent us from understanding everything from stock selection to wine tasting - read it, or risk becoming yet another victim of chance.

“A wonderfully readable guide to how the mathematical laws of randomness affect our lives” - Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time.
