Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge, and he has led three high-profile careers around his ideas, as a man of letters, as a businessman-trader, and as a university professor. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University’s Polytechnic Institute. His work has been published in thirty-three languages.

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.

Why do we not acknowledge the phenomenon of black swans until after they occur? Part of the answer, according to Taleb, is that humans are hardwired to learn specifics when they should be focused on generalities.

We concentrate on things we already know and time and time again fail to take into consideration what we don’t know. We are, therefore, unable to truly estimate opportunities, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify, narrate, and categorize, and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the “impossible.”

For years, Taleb has studied how we fool ourselves into thinking we know more than we actually do. We restrict our thinking to the irrelevant and inconsequential, while large events continue to surprise us and shape our world. Now, in this revelatory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don’t know. He offers surprisingly simple tricks for dealing with black swans and benefiting from them.

Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world. Taleb is a vastly entertaining writer, with wit, irreverence, and unusual stories to tell. He has a polymathic command of subjects ranging from cognitive science to business to probability theory.

The Black Swan is a landmark book – itself a black swan.

The book also contains a 4-page glossary; 19 pages of notes; and, a 28-page bibliography in addition to an index.

我们预测30年后的社会保障赤字和石油价格,而没有认识到我们连明年夏天的情况都预测不了,我们在政治经济大事上的累积预测错误是如此巨大,以至于我每次看到这些记录时,都不得不掐一下自己以确定不是在做梦。令人吃惊的不是预测错误之大,而是我们对其毫无意识。在致命性冲突...

作为一本畅销书,作者毫不犹豫的把片面、失真,但是哗众取宠的信息传递给了大家。 1、使用了非常错误而且误导性的例子 作者用火鸡举例:“火鸡享受了100天的美食,以为人类是友好的,结果101天被宰杀了。” 通过这个例子作者想表达特殊事件(统计上的小概率事件)的影响是...

作为一个数理统计专业并从事金融计量研究工作的人,我认为有必要评价一下这本书.当然我的评论可能会有某些疏漏,请见谅.我假设读者已经研读过这本书.它大概讲了下面几个问题,而且都叙述得比较清楚.   我们为什么不能认识过去?   我们对未来的预测有多差?   我们为什么...

Common sense for any good historian (or history major). Dislike the writing style. The tone is very annoying.

Thanks for telling us that we live in a non-perfect and inhomogeneous world. I look forward to something original and concise in your next book.

基本观点激进,没甚深刻的论证。竟然亚马逊上也是好评一片,无语了
