Do you think this book is useful for someone just looking to get more into statistic and probability sans machine learning? How would I go about that?

Currently I have lined up - Math for programmers (No starch press), Practical Statistics for data scientists (O'Reily - the crab book), and Discovering Statistics using R.

Basically I'm trying to follow the theory from "Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails" by NNT.
