Chapter 1: Peering through the eyepiece of randomness
"The outline of our lives, like the candle's flame, is continuously coaxed in new directions by a variety of random events that, along with our responses to them, determine our fate. As a result, life is both hard to predict and hard to interpret." (p.4)
"Making wise assessments and choices in the face of uncertainty is a rare skill. But like any skill, it can be improved with experience." (p.6)
