ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Black Swan” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the impact of rare, unpredictable events—referred to as Black Swans—that shape our world. Taleb challenges conventional thinking by questioning our ability to predict the future, highlighting the flaws in traditional models used in economics, finance, and risk management. He argues that humans often ignore the unpredictable and focus too much on the known, which leads to poor decision-making. The book blends philosophy, statistics, and personal anecdotes, urging readers to embrace uncertainty and build systems that are resilient to the unknown rather than trying to predict and control it.
