Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, randomness, human error, probability, and the philosophy of knowledge. He managed to transform his interests into three successful careers, as a man of letters, businessman-trader-risk manager, and university professor. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University's Polytechnic Institute and Principal of Universa. His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in 31 languages. He is widely recognized as the foremost thinker on probability and uncertainty. Taleb lives mostly in New York.
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.
*2nd Edition, With a new essay: "On Robustness and Fragility"
『I'd rather have the opinion of a trader than a mathematician.』 - 格林斯潘。 所谓黑天鹅,是指具备了以下三个特征的事件: - 不可预测,人们事前往往低估其发生的可能性 - 造成极大影响 - 事后回头再看,又觉得此事发生的有理 比如最近的金融危机,就是一次典型的...
评分本来也不该指望从畅销书中寻找什么惊为天人的洞识,我看此书的初衷也无非是学习一本畅销书该如何来撰写,以便于日后变成畅销书作家,大把赚银子来买书。如果只是为了这么一个不太高尚的目的,我想在看完之后还是有所体悟的,此书成功的关键就在于1、用一个形象化的手法表达你抖...
评分作为一本畅销书,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...
评分塔勒布喜欢说一个故事,关于黑天鹅的故事。17世纪的欧洲人们相信所有的天鹅都是白色的,这是牢不可破的信念。直到澳大利亚发现了黑天鹅,视野才重新打开。 黑天鹅的出现证明了我们的认知多么局限,黑天鹅的存在寓于着不可预测的重大事件,它在意料之外却又改变一切。 黑天...
评分这是amazon上对这本书原版的评论(http://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Impact-Highly-Improbable/dp/1400063515/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210482280&sr=8-1),得到了四星的推荐,其中文版的推出本来是件好事,但令人惊奇的是从4.8到4.18有红袖添乱、vivian、孤独的旺财...
有点意思...不过也就那样
评分my only regret is to not have read years ago....idiosyncratically brilliant!
评分帮助你重新思考的一本
评分第一本完整读完的英文原版书。之前读过中文版,一知半解。这个版本里有附上Taleb后来的一些essay,对黑天鹅理论进一步完善。颠覆性的思维方式很有趣,对人的非理性和事的不确定性有着通俗又深刻的阐述。在教科书里浸淫越久,越可以感受到这本书的价值。
评分重温男神的经典之作,虽然提了很多次卡尼曼和其他学者在风险管理方面的理论,但“黑天鹅”应该是提醒大家注意到小概率不可预测事件带来的风险的代名词,也解释了统计学和计量经济学里经常出现的各种假定其实在现实生活中没有任何行为意义。为此,唯一能做的就是冗余吧。
