FLUKE: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matter by Brian Klaas

BATB Score: 2/10

why is this book so boring 🥱

Best as: this book discusses a single premise that every second of ours and everybody else’s micro decisions makes us who we are today

Best to: that even if we turn back time and recount every decisions, we can not engineer to be the same person

BATB lingering thought: butterfly effect: the notion that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil could trigger a tornado in Texas

Best for: “no man ever steps in the same river twice; for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” no man should read this book

Best quotes: “If you’re invested in security and certainty, you are on the wrong planet.”

“We should all take a bit less credit for our triumphs and a bit less blame for our failures.”

“If uncertainty is slain, so are surprises, serendipity, and flukes.”

“Each individual controls almost nothing, but influences almost everything.”
