Book Review: Taleb, Nassim Nicholas (2007), The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Random House, ISBN 978-1400063512 The book tackles subjects related to knowledge and ways of life, with elements of fiction and anecdotes from the author's personal life, starting from literary aspects to scientific and mathematical ones. The focus is on "our blindness to randomness, especially large deviations." The black swan theory was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain the disproportionate role of hard-to-predict rare events, the inconsistency of scientific methods in calculating the probability of rare events due to the nature of small probabilities, and people's biases towards uncertainty and the massive role of a rare event. Taleb suggests that businessmen use the "barbell strategy" for investing that he himself used, which consists of avoiding medium-risk investments and placing 85-90% of the money in the safest instruments available and the remaining 10- 15% in highly speculative business.
