The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb delves into the profound impact of rare, unpredictable events—Black Swans—that shape history, markets, and our lives. Taleb challenges our reliance on predictions and exposes the flaws in our understanding of risk. He argues that these extreme events are more common than we think and have far-reaching consequences. With a blend of philosophy, economics, and storytelling, this book teaches us to embrace uncertainty, prepare for the unexpected, and rethink how we approach decision-making in an uncertain world.
