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"
Nassim Nicholas Taleb的The Black Swan是一本关于不确定性和随机性的书,全书充满哲学的思辨和浅显易懂的实例,从历史、统计、人性、心理等角度深入浅出的揭示了人类思维的误区和成因所在,说明了“黑天鹅”的逻辑——你不知道的事比你知道的事更有意义。 所谓"黑天鹅“事件...

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...
评分在不确定的世界 读书笔记之黑天鹅效应 题记:08年端午节回家的火车上看完了中信出版社的《黑天鹅》,前半段震惊于作者的观点,后半段则变成了雾里看花,不明所以。回到上海从淘宝上买到了台湾版的《黑天鹅效...
啰嗦,大量篇幅都在抱怨世界如何蠢作者如何英明但不被重视。部分论点走了极端。基本观点:复杂系统(如金融)中的随机变量常遵从幂律分布,影响极大的事件以虽小但不可忽略的概率出现(即黑天鹅)。但流行模型往往基于朴素的正态分布假设,故存在致命盲点。因黑天鹅罕见,即使考虑幂律分布拟合的模型也难有预测力。作者建议:对影响正面的黑天鹅尽量激进保证敞口,对负面的则要极度保守。
评分Idea好,但行文形散.In Extremistan world,vol不可靠因BS exist and their rarity lowers vol.应对负面BS:keep a diary to prevent burnout from 2nd guessing of past actions,defensive redundancies,keep it small,use barbell.正面BS:be an aggregate BS hunter (VC, publisher),max serendipity, invest in preparedness not predictability,trade duration for intensity in workout (?!)
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.
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。
