The Black Swan book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the impact of rare, unpredictable events that can have extraordinary consequences. Taleb argues that people often underestimate the role of the unexpected and tend to create explanations for major events only after they have happened.

Drawing on probability, economics, psychology, philosophy, and history, the book examines how humans deal with uncertainty and why our predictions can be misleading. Taleb encourages readers to think differently about risk, randomness, and the limits of knowledge.
