书名：THE BLACK SWAN；作者：NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB。

A BLAC K SWA N is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpre­dictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11 . For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything
about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Why do we not acknowledge the phenomenon
of black swans until after they occur? Part of the answer, according to Taleb, is that humans are hardwired to learn specifics when they should be focused on generalities. We concentrate on things we already know and time and time again fail to take into consideration what we don't know. We are, therefore, unable to truly estimate oppor­tunities, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify,
narrate, and categorize, and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the "impossible." For years, Taleb has studied how we fool our­selves into thinking we know more than we actually do. We restrict our thinking to the irrelevant and inconsequential, while large events continue to surprise us and shape our world. Now, in this reve­latory book, Taleb explains everything we know about what we don't know. He offers surprisingly simple tricks for dealing with black swans and ben­efiting from them. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applica­tions, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world. Taleb is a vastly entertaining writer, with wit, irreverence, and unusual stories to tell. He has a polymathic command of subjects ranging from cognitive science to business to
probability theory. The Black Swan is a landmark book—itself a black swan.
