The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
A novel by David Chandler & Микола Климчук & Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“Reading 'The Black Swan' is an intellectually stimulating experience that leaves you contemplating the unpredictable nature of life. Taleb's insights evoke a sense of wonder and caution, as you reflect on the events that have shaped your own existence. The book invites you to embrace the chaos of the unknown, fostering a mix of curiosity and humility in the face of life's uncertainties.”
ABOUT THIS BOOK A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives.
