Черный лебедь. Под знаком непредсказуемости. Талеб

Nassim Nicholas Taleb looks at rare events that people fail to foresee. He calls these events Black Swans. He argues that they shape history and each person's life. He asks how people can prepare for such shocks.

This nonfiction book deals with life and what we cannot know for sure. It is not an economics textbook. It is for readers who seek their place in a world they cannot predict.

This edition adds a later essay on resilience, the strength to cope with shocks. In it, Taleb replies to economists who reject his ideas. The book also has a set of his aphorisms, or short sayings.
