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.

“蝴蝶扇动翅膀, 在远方形成了风暴”,这句混沌学的名言陈冠希一定深有体会。一次电脑故障,弄出这么大的事情。他一定很后悔去修电脑了,或者去那家修电脑了,而不是拍了那些照片。那些照片原是可以很严实地被隐藏着,隔绝着,象气球里的空气或埋在地下的煤气管道。只是偶然...
評分这是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...
評分喝了一口手边的水,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...
評分狗听到铃铛的声音,会以为要吃饭了而流口水,人又能好到哪里去。其实人和狗之间作为个体而言没什么太大的差别。 1.一个实验 图的遍历是一个很好玩的小游戏,很难找到一种办法,使得遍历的过程中不重复浏览已经经过的点,如果这种无用的浏览过于频繁,就会极大的降低遍历的效...
評分这本书确实很好,大观点不错,许多小观点也值得细细思考,看了十几篇评论,大都没有反映出这本书的精华。 1. 黑天鹅现象,黑天鹅现象具有三个特点:不可预测性,影响重大,事后可解释。 2. 叙述谬误,我们在编造理由或者强大一种逻辑关系的情况下观察一系列事实,对事实的解...
Stop looking the gift horse in the mouth-remember that you are a black swan.
评分囉嗦,大量篇幅都在抱怨世界如何蠢作者如何英明但不被重視。部分論點走瞭極端。基本觀點:復雜係統(如金融)中的隨機變量常遵從冪律分布,影響極大的事件以雖小但不可忽略的概率齣現(即黑天鵝)。但流行模型往往基於樸素的正態分布假設,故存在緻命盲點。因黑天鵝罕見,即使考慮冪律分布擬閤的模型也難有預測力。作者建議:對影響正麵的黑天鵝盡量激進保證敞口,對負麵的則要極度保守。
评分washington university現任校長曾經推薦的。對probability的新的解讀,用語生動。
评分I only bought this book to understand the jargon "black swan" mentioned in many works. This is an important book(because of its important idea), but it is too lengthy and a little tedious to some extent. It's better to learn this idea through some kind of book summary instead of plodding through the book itself.
