Táto séria prenikavo skúma úlohu náhody, neistoty a nepokojov vo svete. Autor bravúrne spája osobné skúsenosti s hlbokými filozofickými úvahami a matematickými konceptmi. Čitatelia sa dozvedia, ako efektívne fungovať vo svete, kde náhodné udalosti zohrávajú kľúčovú rolu, a ako sa vyrovnať s ľudskou tendenciou klamať sami seba ohľadom predvídateľnosti. Ide o provokatívne čítanie pre každého, koho zaujíma riziko, chaos a povaha reality.
Contends that randomness and probability have a large impact on life, claims that people regularly fail to recognize that role, and tells how to differentiate between randomness in general and the financial markets in particular.
From the critically acclaimed author of Fooled by Randomness, a book about the impact of improbable events on every aspect of life.
By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses Taleb's view of modern civilization's hubristic side effects--modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs, defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and convincing people that employment is not slavery
Nassim Taleb je bez pochyby jedným z najväčších mysliteľov 21. storočia. Jeho prvý bestseller „Čierna labuť“ ukázal, ako silný vplyv môžu mať na naše životy neočakávané udalosti. Vo svojom druhom bestselleri „Antifragile“ zachádza ešte o mnoho ďalej, keď predstavuje podstatu nestálosti sveta. Na mnohých príkladoch z reálneho života ukazuje, ako budujeme svet, ktorý sa stáva stále krehkejší a náchylnejší k turbulenciám. Pritom by sme sa mali snažiť o pravý opak, poučiť sa z prírody a byť antikrehký – profitovať z nepoznaného a neistého. Profitovať z toho, aký svet v skutočnosti je.
The phrase "skin in the game" is one we have often heard but have rarely stopped to truly dissect. It is the backbone of risk management, but it's also an astonishingly complex worldview that applies to all aspects of our lives. Nassim Nicholas Taleb pulls on everything from Antaeus the Giant to Hammurabi to Donald Trump to Seneca to the ethics of disagreement to create a tapestry for understanding our world in a brand new way. Among his insights: For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing -- Ethical rules aren't universal -- Minorities, not majorities, run the world -- You can be an intellectual yet still be an idiot -- Beware of complicated solutions (that someone was paid to find) -- True religion is commitment, not just faith
