The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Best Read I've had in a long time!!!!! 10 out of 10.
This book is all about how human lives have moved from mediocrestan (characterized by normal distributions) to extremistan (mandelbrotian distributions). The world is not moving to the beat of the average or the mundane. Outliers are showing up with amazing frequency that blow the normal curve apart. Outliers are impacting our lives everyday. It's the black swan, the unexpected event, that is controlling what we do and where we are going. Taleb goes through and explains how this doesn't jive with most of our thinking. Our thinking has become outdated and harmful in the land of extremistan.
AN AWESOME READ!!
