In my opinion it's ML's best book along with Moneyball.


I like ML a lot too, but he gets plenty of the facts wrong - or at least muddied - in this one. His big problem is selection bias - i.e. the people that actually talk to him write the narrative for him.

I had to read LP as a required reading in one of my college courses.

It pretty much changed my mind as to my career path.

Gets the facts wrong in Liar's Poker? Because at least to some degree, he was there.
