The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

2.0

This was a disappointing read for me. The writing was scattered and not well structured, making it difficult to follow a line of thinking. In addition, Taleb's writing style and attempts at humor were grating. That said, the subject matter itself -- that our lives are greatly influenced by rare, "black swan" events that we cannot predict in advance -- was interesting. I was able to tuck away a couple of thoughts that may help me as an investor.
