Description
Only the last decade has seen humanity go through a series of the most severe upheavals: September 11, 2001, the war in Ossetia, the global financial crisis. For us, these events now seem like predictable things—yet earlier they simply looked impossible, until they actually happened. New York financial guru and Sorbonne graduate Nassim Taleb called such unpredictable events “Black Swans.” According to his beliefs, it is precisely this that drives not only history, but also the life of an individual. And to succeed, you need to learn to “tame” them.
The author vividly demonstrated his “non-theory” with his own example: during the financial crisis, his company did not lose—he earned for investors 500 million units. Note that “Black Swan” is not an economics textbook. It is more like reflections of an extraordinary person about life—about how to find your place in it.
