The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The central concept of the book, the consequences of the difference between a Gaussian distribution and a distribution in which the tails do not diminish as they get further from the mean, is interesting. The book is repetitive and bloated in discussing this point, a common flaw in this genre. But the author is just *unbearable* in his arrogant small-minded fragile narcissism, making the reading of the book a real burden.
