Struck by Lightning: The Curious World of Probabilities by Jeffrey S. Rosenthal

4.0

You're not going to become an economist or probability expert by reading this book, but at least you can see how probability, statistics, game theory, and other such math applies to everyday life. You understand the different types of biases, how probability works, the concepts of p-values and Gaussian distribution, utility functions, and more. I think it would be good reading in high school curricula. Best of all, it's nice to read a great book like Struck by Lightning, a Malcolm-Gladwell-read-alike, that comes from Canada! Truly enjoyed it. I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in math (and even a little bit to those who aren't)!
