Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb's books examine uncertainty, chance, risk, and the errors that follow when confidence exceeds what evidence can support. Fooled by Randomness studies how luck is mistaken for skill, especially when outcomes hide the paths that could have occurred. The Black Swan turns to rare, consequential events and the stories constructed after surprise makes them visible.

Antifragile asks how some systems can improve through volatility rather than merely withstand it. Skin in the Game connects judgment to exposure, responsibility, and asymmetries between those who decide and those who bear the consequences. The Bed of Procrustes compresses related challenges into aphorisms. Together, these arguments favor humility before uncertainty and arrangements that reveal who carries the downside of being wrong.
