This book introduces the concept of the Black Swan, an event that is highly improbable, has a massive impact, and is rationalized in hindsight. It argues that these unpredictable occurrences shape history, culture, and personal lives, from the success of companies like Google to significant global events. The author reveals how human psychology, with its tendency to simplify and categorize, makes us vulnerable to ignoring the potential for such impactful, unforeseen events. The work aims to equip readers with a better understanding of what we don't know and how to navigate a world shaped by randomness.
