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.

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.

『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...

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...

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...

评分

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.

评分

能看出来作者极其聪明,但是那种深深的做trader时期遗留下来的傲慢态度为这本书大打折扣。
