Summary
Maverick thinker Nassim Nicholas Taleb had an illustrious career on Wall Street before turning his focus to his black swan theory. Not all swans are white, and not all events-no matter what the experts think-are predictable. Taleb shows that black swans, like 9/11, cannot be foreseen and have an immeasurable impact on the world. "[Taleb] administers a severe thrashing to MBA- and Nobel Prize-credentialed experts who make their living from economic forecasting."-Booklist
Taleb presents a fresh and innovative perspective on how to navigate the uncertainties and unexpectedness of our existence. This book is truly exceptional and thought-provoking.
If you can set aside your preconceived notions and stay receptive to fresh insights, 'The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable' has the potential to significantly broaden your perspective. Taleb employs an unfiltered and sardonic manner of writing that I, personally, find appealing, making my experience reading this book thoroughly enjoyable.
Even though the book goes off on mind-boggling tangents every now and then, it will certainly make you ponder the unpredictability of events that happen to you and the world. The narrator's cynicism adds a touch of drama that perfectly captures the author's intention.
