The phenomenal international bestseller that shows us how to stop
trying to predict everything - and take advantage of uncertainty
What have the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street
Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common? Why are all
forecasters con-artists? Why should you never run for a train or
read a newspaper? This book is all about Black Swans: the random
events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world
disasters. Their impact is huge; they're impossible to predict; yet
after they happen we always try to rationalize them. 'Taleb is a
bouncy and even exhilarating guide ... I came to relish what he
said, and even develop a sneaking affection for him as a person'
Will Self, Independent on Sunday 'He leaps like some superhero of
the mind' Boyd Tonkin, Independent
