Key Concepts and Strategies
The Black Swan is a book that reflects on highly improbable events that have a profound impact on the course of history and people's lives. The author delves into human psychology and explains why we are so poor at predicting these events. Nassim Taleb introduces the concept of a "black swan" as a metaphor for unpredictable and revolutionary events. The main concepts include a critique of the reliability of statistical data and historical facts, dependence on rare and unexpected events, as well as strategies for resilience and benefiting from uncertainty.
