Thanks for answering my questions. Could you explain what you mean by Taleb's books. I don't know who that is and what books you are referring to. I tried to google Taleb but there are a lot of people called that.
Nicholas Nassim Taleb, author of Anti-Fragile and The Black Swan. I recommend those ones. He writes about the role of uncertainty in life. Certainly less dry than a statistics handbook, and drives home a lot of important concepts.
