The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

December 26, 2016

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

A truly thought provoking must-read!

A black swan is an event, positive or negative, that is deemed improbable yet causes massive consequences. In this groundbreaking and prophetic book, Taleb shows in a playful way that Black Swan events explain almost everything about our world, and yet we—especially the experts—are blind to them. In this second edition, Taleb has added a new essay, On Robustness and Fragility, which offers tools to navigate and exploit a Black Swan world.
