Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, randomness, human error, probability, and the philosophy of knowledge. He managed to transform his interests into three successful careers, as a man of letters, businessman-trader-risk manager, and university professor. Although he spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University's Polytechnic Institute and Principal of Universa. His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in 31 languages. He is widely recognized as the foremost thinker on probability and uncertainty. Taleb lives mostly in New York.
A black swan is an event, positive or negative, that is deemed improbable yet causes massive consequences. In this groundbreaking and prophetic book, Taleb shows in a playful way that Black Swan events explain almost everything about our world, and yet we—especially the experts—are blind to them. In this second edition, Taleb has added a new essay, On Robustness and Fragility, which offers tools to navigate and exploit a Black Swan world.
*2nd Edition, With a new essay: "On Robustness and Fragility"
Nassim Nicholas Taleb的The Black Swan是一本关于不确定性和随机性的书,全书充满哲学的思辨和浅显易懂的实例,从历史、统计、人性、心理等角度深入浅出的揭示了人类思维的误区和成因所在,说明了“黑天鹅”的逻辑——你不知道的事比你知道的事更有意义。 所谓"黑天鹅“事件...
评分这是amazon上对这本书原版的评论(http://www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-Impact-Highly-Improbable/dp/1400063515/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210482280&sr=8-1),得到了四星的推荐,其中文版的推出本来是件好事,但令人惊奇的是从4.8到4.18有红袖添乱、vivian、孤独的旺财...
评分1、几乎社会生活中的一切都是由极少发生但是影响重大的剧变和飞越产生的。 2、你不知道的事比你知道的事更有意义,因为许多黑天鹅事件正是不可预知的情况下发生和加剧的。 3、如何应对黑天鹅: ①不要预测:能够预测出来的意外就不是意外,对于不可预测的事情做出错误的预测...

评分在历史浩瀚籍册文字掩盖下的,是另一种人类精神文明的真实。人类以确定性将认知垄断恰恰证明了没有记录下来的历史的不确定性的真实和未被认知的力量。 易说我、非我是道而变化万千,老子说一切皆从无中来,庄子说我怎么知道我梦见的我也在梦着我,孙子说每个我都要知道彼我还...
1.黑天鹅可能是自然的(譬如传染病,大地震,台风),也可能人为制造出来的(金融危机)。由于现代社会的复杂性+耦合性,使得人造黑天鹅更频繁。2.关于预测:如果是以对历史的观察来推测,黑天鹅则是无法预测的;但如果对人造黑天鹅的本质有所了解,你是可以预料(大概地了解其概率)到黑天鹅的——对屠夫来说,火鸡的第1001天并不是黑天鹅事件。3.由于未知的未知的存在,要使用不对称性——把自己放在一个好结果比坏结果大得多的条件下。4.数学只是工具,工具并没有什么问题,问题在于用数学的人:普通人缺乏基本的概率计算数学,而专家过分的使用数学搭建出不切实际的柏拉图式的数学模型。5.不知道的知识的价值,无为的价值。
评分I only bought this book to understand the jargon "black swan" mentioned in many works. This is an important book(because of its important idea), but it is too lengthy and a little tedious to some extent. It's better to learn this idea through some kind of book summary instead of plodding through the book itself.
评分有点意思...不过也就那样
评分Stop looking the gift horse in the mouth-remember that you are a black swan.
