The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

I don't know enough about statistics or science to understand most of this book, but it didn't really matter; I loved how Taleb turns statistics on its head and watches how it tries to keep standing. From this book away these big thoughts: You think they won't, but black swans will happen. No one will expect them. Their impact will be astonishing. Go for the good black swans, however unlikely; stay away from the bad black swans, no matter what.
