📝 Description
This book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb introduces the concept of 'black swan' events: unpredictable occurrences that have extreme impacts. It argues that these events are far more common than we realize and that their effects are often rationalized in hindsight, leading to a false sense of understanding and predictability.
