Has anyone here read the books written by Taleb, author of "The Black Swan" and his latest book "Antifragile". Taleb gains prominance witt his book "The Black Swan" which showed the fragility which would lead to the banking collapse. Before the crash he made a fortune betting that the banking crash would happen. His newest book Antifragile shows how much of conventional wisdom is incorrect. As Taleb put it, the book is actually an introduction to The Black Swan.
I also enjoyed the Black Swan book. Really interesting insights, although I find that Taleb is a little pessimistic from time to time.
NNT has a new book? I am 1/2 way done BW, I actually started it last year and put it down to work though some (TONNES) job-related (boring) reading material. Then I switched over to some fiction for the summer. Have to get back into it soon. I might have to start again from the beginning,which is fine since NNT is a fun writer to read.
