Since the original publication of Nudge more than a decade ago, the title has entered the vocabulary of businesspeople, policy makers, engaged citizens, and consumers everywhere. The book has given rise to more than 200 "nudge units" in governments around the world and countless groups of behavioral scientists in every part of the economy. It has taught us how to use thoughtful "choice architecture" - a concept the authors invented - to help us make better decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society.

Story
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. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Publisher's summary
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
From the world-leaders in strategic thinking and the multi-million copy bestselling authors of Thinking Fast and Slow and Nudge, the next big book to change the way you think.
We like to think we make decisions based on good reasoning–and that our doctors, judges, politicians, economic forecasters and employers do too. In this groundbreaking book, three world-leading behavioural scientists come together to assess the last great fault in our collective decision-making: noise.
We all make bad judgements more than we think. Noise shows us what we can do to make better ones.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"Noise may be the most important book I've read in more than a decade. A genuinely new idea so exceedingly important you will immediately put it into practice. A masterpiece." (Angela Duckworth, author of Grit)
"An absolutely brilliant investigation of a massive societal problem that has been hiding in plain sight." (Steven Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics)
"A monumental, gripping book.... Outstanding." (Sunday Times)

A bit niche, but still a solid recommendation.
A fantastic treatise on an important topic. It's probably less generally applicable for most people than the author's other very popular book, Nudge, but a you might still find it enlightening even if you can't personally utilize the noise-reducing techniques within. Personally, I think it suffers a bit as an audiobook, because there are frequently long descriptions of hypothetical situations, sociological experiments, and maths which I personally feel like I need to relisten to sometimes so I can grok the necessary details, and that's just more easily done with text.

Not Thinking Fast and Slow
It's a lot like Thinking Fast and Slow but the aspect of Noise being harder to detect means it's considerably less interesting, literally the best think in the book is decision cascades which is honestly just bias with extra steps
