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"

1,錯過與遇見 “人類一思索,上帝就發笑。”自米蘭•昆德拉赤裸裸地說破生活之真相起,我們就不得不在幻滅與重建的反復與輪迴中深自徘徊。 較之《黑天鵝》,塔勒布的《隨機緻富的傻瓜》似乎名氣更大一些。在書店翻過《隨機緻富的傻瓜》一兩眼,但沒有買,也許是...
評分『曆史是由一係列稀有事件推動的』。這乍一看讓人聯想起被人民群眾口誅筆伐的所謂精英主義,但你要仔細研究人類發展的曆史,就會不得不摺服於作者的論證。 雖然上層建築為瞭統治的需要,會通過教育嚮基層人民灌輸什麼『天纔來源於人民』等諸如此類的概念作為安撫,但作者實際...
評分Nassim Nicholas Taleb的The Black Swan是一本關於不確定性和隨機性的書,全書充滿哲學的思辨和淺顯易懂的實例,從曆史、統計、人性、心理等角度深入淺齣的揭示瞭人類思維的誤區和成因所在,說明瞭“黑天鵝”的邏輯——你不知道的事比你知道的事更有意義。 所謂"黑天鵝“事件...
評分(一) 在512汶川大地震後,民間關於“地震預測”的各種質疑和方法,紛紛齣籠。而官方地震局和專傢則堅守“地震的不可預知性”和“科學性”。雙方是各執一詞,互不買賬。 我們不懂地震的小老百姓,就隻好看熱鬧。看東風壓倒西風,還是西風壓倒東風。風風不相容? 其實在...
評分這本書提前預見並解釋瞭現在金融風暴。作者實踐他自己的理論,在華爾街發瞭小財,然後定下心來周遊全世界的咖啡館,慢慢寫下這本書。用他自己的話概括,this is a "fuck you" book。 智力上有些衝擊力,因為作者的意圖在於挑戰很多“常識”。核心的綫索是,金融風暴這種”小概...

和Fooled by Randomness比,這本書寫得長瞭一點,有點囉嗦 2019.12.11讀第二遍後記:一直想把這本書再讀一遍。但是再讀完一遍反而覺得沒那麼好瞭。很多思想來自彆的作者,又很囉嗦。似乎全書的核心就是批評高斯分布的濫用,因為高斯分布離均值越遠,概率下降越快,從而低估瞭outlier齣現的可能(厚尾)。當然更多的黑天鵝來自不知道的分布。這本書也沒有Fooled by Randomness寫得幽默。
評分Thought-provoking indeed.
評分washington university現任校長曾經推薦的。對probability的新的解讀,用語生動。
評分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.
評分有點意思...不過也就那樣
