Black Swan by Nassim Taleb?



I think not, because doesn't ring a bell at all. It was a book related to stock market though, IIRC it was a Canadian author who described their career as a day-trader and how they thought of how markets work. I wish I remembered better but it was quite long ago, and I don't have said book anymore. My book likely came out after that book, so maybe my author picked it up from others.

That book however you mentioned, I just looked it up and it seems interesting. Might put on my read list.


Michael Lewis wrote a ton on this topic. He's not Canadian, but his books are really good, if financial non-fiction is your thing. He wrote The Big Short, among others (Flash Boys is a good one).
