Black Swans are hidden from view, because of our array of biasis and irrationalities, such as the narrative fallacy, the ludic fallacy and confirmation bias. Taleb shows us that the unpredictable, high impact events are the most consequential parts in culture and in your life.
Although the world is ran by unpredictable events, it doesn't mean we can't benefit from them. Taleb closes with a bunch of practical tips to benefit from the uncertainty in the world.
