The Black Swan

“Also from Nassim Taleb's book, The Black Swan and the great Matt Walker's book, Why We Sleep, which is a book that I've read several times and I actually listen to the synopsis of on Blinkist over and over because there's so many key takeaways.”

“For example, I'm a fan of Tim Ferris's *4-Hour Body*, which has provided me with much knowledge, as well as Nassim Taleb's *The Black Swan* and Matt Walker's *Why We Sleep*, the latter being a book I've read several times and frequently listen to summaries of on Blinkist due to the many takeaways it offers.”

“Other books that I've read before and that I own and enjoy, but I listened to the Blinkist version of from time to time are things like Tim Ferris's "The 4-Hour Body" or Tim Ferris's The 4-Hour Chef book, both of which are excellent or Nassim Taleb's "The Black Swan" and there are many other titles as well.”

“Other books I've previously read and own, but listen to the Blinkist version of occasionally, include Tim Ferris's 'The 4-Hour Body,' Tim Ferris's 'The 4-Hour Chef,' Nassim Taleb's 'The Black Swan,' and many other titles.”

“I've used it for, for instance, Matt Walker's "Why We Sleep," an excellent book on why we sleep as well as Tim Ferriss's "The 4-Hour Body," Nassim Taleb's "The Black Swan," and so on, and so on.”

“i first read actually the the black swan and then went back to fool by randomists also read anti-fragile”

“I haven't read uh the Incerto, or Incherto, I'm not sure how to pronounce that, honestly, but I have read The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, and some of his other writing, and I find it tremendously compelling.”

“Aha. So, for clarity, Tim, the Incerto, I'm assuming it's Incerto since he likes Italian, is the collection of the following books: Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Antifragile. Some will include Skin in the Game. Great. Then I'm a fan of the collection.”

“you've got the Black Swan you have is it the 48 laws I can't read yeah 40 it was the already at laws of power and then mastery”

“For those people who aren't watching the video, you have and I'll read from the bottom up. You've got The Black Swan, you have is it The 48 Laws?”

“so Nasim Talib who wrote The Black Swan Fooled by Randomness”

“Uh and he introduced me to the black swan by Nasim Talib, which is really about rare events and how poor humans are at at predicting or even planning for rare events.”

“naseem tele came up with this term you can uh go read his book the block swan it's incredible you'll get about if you're like me 10 20 you'll understand”

“and they're like what's a black swan I'm like need to kind of need to read the book if there's a black swan the markets turn off for six to 18 months”

“same with Black Swan I mean I think if you are living through what we're living through right now yeah the Black Swan is something you really need to understand”

“I think a hundred is fine I mean again it's like it's your Black Swan farming so you know takes as many as it takes yeah that's what people don't understand see systems like the Y Combinator”

“there's a book I forget the author's name but uh the guy wrote the book about black swans oh Nasim Nicholas taleb yeah so so he wrote this book The Black Swan which is which is a great book I highly recommend it”

“oh Nasim Nicholas taleb yeah so so he wrote this book The Black Swan which is which is a great book”

“there's a great book by the way um look a series of books by nicholas taleb about fooled by randomness and black swan”

“we mentioned the black swan by taleb i think that's a good sort of mind opener”

“that's what Nasim Talib wrote about in the Black Swan that were suckers for Black Swan events”

“Nasim Talib wrote the most important valuable book I've ever read in my life the Black Swan the influence of the highly improbable”

“one of the the title of the Blackstone event is most often attributed to Nicholas Naseem to Leb um now he is a he's both an economist he's been he's a professor he's he's an author he's kind of one of those Auto phages he's accomplished many things um but he um he wrote a book called The Black Swan”

“going back to Nicholas Nicholas Nasim taleb if you read if you want to read three books of his Black Swan anti-fragile skin in the game skin in the game means if I'm not if I'm the guy on the ground I know that I can make decisions because I know that if I'm looking at a combatant or non-combatant”

“have you ever read the black swan no this is a great book by um i think his name is talib and basically his theory is that human beings spend all of our time justifying things uh that have already happened and sort of explaining them away”

“The second is a much more controversial author, but um I would say ever since I was exposed to one of his early works, Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan, I will probably always be a fan of Nassim Taleb.”

“so I said okay it'll take some time off to finish the Black Swan which I couldn't finish when I was training which actually I started before F by Randomness”

“so but what happened is that you have to realize and this is something i saw with writings of black swan that we have more connectivity today than we did before”

“and it's uh i described it in the black swan there's that idea that visconti you know the filmmaker”

“And effectively, in the black swan, I was warning against pseudo-stability. The more you stabilize the place, the more the place seems non-chaotic, like today's Saudi Arabia, the more it's going to have problems.”

“a word coined by Nassim Taleb the guy who wrote the Black Swan because there are certain systems and he was I think he was motivated by the collapse of the banking system”

“so he had predicted the collapse because he said the banking system is really convoluted and it's never been tested”

“I don't know if you guys ever read Nassim Taleb's book Black Swan, Mhm. but Black Swan theory essentially says that our minds are not capable of fully recognizing and appreciating anomalies in the market”

“Yeah, I'm thinking like if you have a book like Antifragile by Nassim Taleb or The Black Swan.”

“yeah that's that comes from NASA Nutella NASA and Talib who wrote the Black Swan fooled by randomness and a few other interesting concepts”

“You know, the Black Swan wasn't a book about risk and then he just slaps on this title. I mean it's built around the story, but you can you can do it a lot of different ways.”

“and also that the author full by rames had a new book coming out the black SW called The Black Swan which explained you know the transition from the author was trying to Transit”

“i forget what else he did black swan black swan yeah”

“I don't if you come across called Nasim Talib. He wrote this book called The Black Swan and he's he was really um he's a he's a mathematician and he was in the financial markets and and he really kind of predicted the crash and understood all that”

“i got this from there's a guy named naseem tuleb who's written a few books probably the most famous is a book called the black swan”
