gedrap: Brilliant book about overlooking rare events which have dramatic consequences because 'it's unlikely to happen'.

tsaprailis: This in my opinion is a superb book if you are interested in statistics/philosophy. He presents the chaotic structure of our world and why extreme events are more common than we think.Definitely suggested.

mck-: A much more modern business book on the now-mainstream concept of "Black Swan" events. But the true value of this book goes beyond the concept – it changed my view of statistics, knowledge, empirical skepticism, philosophy, cognitive biases, societal dynamics, and sure, made me quit investment banking.

ncphillips: Taleb has changed my way of looking at the world. His books are enjoyable to read, and his ideas thought provoking. I will continue to read the rest of his books over the next year.
