I'd strongly recommend the book Fooled by Randomness (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fooled-Randomness-Hidden-Chance-Markets/dp/0141031484 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fooled-Randomness-Hidden-Chance-Mark...) for a very entertaining look at the role of chance both in "success" in the financial markets and life in general. One of the few books I can honestly say had a significant impact on how I approach a lot of every day situations.
