The Gift of Small Probabilities
The Power of Why Not? : The Gift of Small Probabilities has a lot of stories, case studies on how low probabilities did not deter individuals, groups, companies and nations. Might get you to reset your own notion of conventional wisdom.
“Probability does not exist,” Italian mathematician Bruno de Finetti (1906-1985) famously stated. He argued that there’s no objective, external reality to probability; it only exists as a degree of belief in an individual’s mind.
If your passion or dream is to run a marathon, start a company, or whatever you want to achieve, it is the degree of belief in your mind. This book might change your outlook.

Sanjay Manandhar is an entrepreneur and technologist whose work spans software, finance, and company building. Born and raised in Nepal, he came to the United States on a full scholarship at seventeen to attend UWC in New Mexico and went on to study electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. He later earned a master’s degree from the MIT Media Lab and an MBA from INSEAD, France.
Over the course of his career, Sanjay has founded and led multiple technology companies, including ventures in SaaS, AdTech, computer vision, AI for cybersecurity, and other enterprise systems.
His experiences as an immigrant, founder, and maverick and the stories he’s heard along the way, drive his belief that probability is personal and that a bias to action matters more than generalized odds (or how others define your probability of success).
Sanjay lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with his wife, Rachana. They are proud parents to daughters, Teesa and Junee. He is a motorcyclist and trekker, exploring the Himalayas and beyond.
