Maverick thinker Nassim Nicholas Taleb had an illustrious career on Wall Street before turning his focus to his black swan theory. Not all swans are white, and not all events, no matter what the experts think, are predictable. Taleb shows that black swans, like 9/11, cannot be foreseen and have an immeasurable impact on the world.
Paul Mullen says:
"A fun Diatribe Against Silly Thinking"
Some interesting ideas but the author is so pompous and arrogant that it required me great effort to listen to it to the end hoping it would all make sense. A very unpleasant person.
