Useful in the way it gets you thinking about- and builds understanding of - probability when it comes to the incidence of everything around us and the events that affect us.
Interesting thesis, but poorly written. The author comes across as arrogant and overly dismissive of experts and entire fields. I feel that the author is so focused on demonstrating the importance of the black swan that he trivializes the value of the more predictable events that follow bell curves.
