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.

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.

喝了一口手边的水,我反复告诫以自己: 要对自己诚实,有时候直言不讳一点不见得时间坏事。 《黑天鹅》的观点OK么? 我相信它的观点,我觉得作者的思路也很清晰, 低概率的事件不代表就是不会发生的事情, 所以,我们要相信奇迹。 因为,你跟我都是奇迹的代表。 生命本身就是...

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...

这本书提前预见并解释了现在金融风暴。作者实践他自己的理论,在华尔街发了小财,然后定下心来周游全世界的咖啡馆,慢慢写下这本书。用他自己的话概括,this is a "fuck you" book。 智力上有些冲击力,因为作者的意图在于挑战很多“常识”。核心的线索是,金融风暴这种”小概...

在历史浩瀚籍册文字掩盖下的,是另一种人类精神文明的真实。人类以确定性将认知垄断恰恰证明了没有记录下来的历史的不确定性的真实和未被认知的力量。 易说我、非我是道而变化万千,老子说一切皆从无中来,庄子说我怎么知道我梦见的我也在梦着我,孙子说每个我都要知道彼我还...

2007年就出版的一本书,为什么有人说国外的评价很高,但阅读起来并不那么赏心悦目?我告诉你就是翻译问题!强烈建议看原版好么!英文版看得津津有味,不得不说太棒了!薇儿偶然看过中文版几眼,那翻译岂是一个烂字了得!!书中里面充满了作者思辨式的哲学感悟和这种例子。确实是哲学、心理学、统计学和金融学的混合体。好内容太多,但若一定要用简洁的语言来总结的话,给我的感觉核心内容就是:“天机难测,淡定应对”。按照古人的说法就是,面对不确定,要“卒然临之而不惊,无故加之而不怒”。 人们总是因为未知而恐惧,Taleb说未来无法预测,所有的解释都是事后诸葛亮,那么我们该如何自处呢?在我看来,这本书最根本的观点即是端正心态,把时间和精力花到该花的地方,别枉费心机去预测未来,尤其是别把所有的身家性命押在上面。

Imagine someone with the erudition of Pico de la Mirandola, the skepticism of Montaigne, solid mathematical training, a restless globetrotter, polyglot, enjoyer of fine wines, specialist of financial derivatives, irrepressible reader, and irascible to the point of readily slapping a disciple.

Bored me to bits.

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