The phenomenal international bestseller that shows us how to stop trying to predict everything - and take advantage of uncertainty
What have the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common? Why are all forecasters con-artists? Why should you never run for a train or read a newspaper?
This book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters. Their impact is huge; they're impossible to predict; yet after they happen we always try to rationalize them.

Fenomenāls starptautisks bestsellers, kas parāda, kā pārtraukt mēģināt visu paredzēt un izmantot nenoteiktību
Kas kopīgs riteņa izgudrojumam, Pompejai, Volstrītas avārijai, Harijam Poteram un internetam? Kāpēc visi prognozētāji ir krāpnieki? Kāpēc jums nekad nevajadzētu skriet uz vilcienu vai lasīt avīzi?
Šī grāmata ir par melnajiem gulbjiem: nejaušiem notikumiem, kas ir mūsu dzīves pamatā, no bestselleriem līdz pasaules katastrofām. To ietekme ir milzīga; tos nav iespējams paredzēt; tomēr pēc tam, kad tie notiek, mēs vienmēr cenšamies tos racionalizēt.
