The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb

Are we currently living through a black swan event? Taleb, in recent articles, argues this is actually a 'white swan' event but either way it is an interesting time for James and Samie to talk about Nassim Taleb's groundbreaking book (described by The Sunday Times as one of the twelve most influential books since World War II) 'The Black Swan'.

James and Samie discuss Taleb's views on the 'Scandal of Prediction', his insights around why our inbuilt biases make us more susceptible to Black Swans and how to maximise our exposure to positive serendipity. James explains why his central message from this book is 'don't become the Turkey'.
