This book shows us the true nature of chance and reveals psychological illusions that cause us to misjudge the world around us. People err in two ways: assuming a situation is more random and unconstrained that it really is; more often we overestimate the amount of control we have over life. Mlodinow gives us fresh insight as to what is really meaningful, and how we can make decisions based on deeper truths.
The Carnegie Library system has 18 copies, and you can obtain an electronic copy for your computer or smart phone. You can buy the book from Amazon for as low at 47¢ plus shipping.
