内容简介

在发现澳大利亚的黑天鹅之前,欧洲人认为天鹅都是白色的,“黑天鹅”曾经是欧洲人言谈与写作中的惯用语,用来指不可能存在的事物,但这个不可动摇的信念随着第一只黑天鹅的出现而崩溃。

黑天鹅的存在寓意着不可预测的重大稀有事件,它在意料之外,却又改变一切。人类总是过度相信经验,而不知道一只黑天鹅的出现就足以颠覆一切。然而,无论是在对股市的预期,还是政府的决策中,黑天鹅都是无法预测的。“9•11”事件、美国的次级贷危机、我国的雪灾,都是如此。

生活中,随机性随处可见,在资本市场也是一样。人们总是以自己有限的生活经验和不堪一击的信念来解释不可预测的事件;即便是精于算计的专业人士,也难保不被随机性愚弄,其实我们应该做的是顺应这种不可知的未来。《The Black Swan》会教你改变自己的思维方式,把握黑天鹅带来的机会,采取应对策略,从中受益。这《The Black Swan》将改变我们对世界、人性和金钱的看法。

    我赞成作者提出的概念,但是这本书的中心内容最多有十页,剩下的就是颠来倒去一点都不inspiring地反复阐述一个观点,很多例子不靠谱,很多例子对学过一点心理学或者行为金融都是再基本不过的概念。作者还花了大量篇幅自证牛b,并bs这个bs那个。用粗俗一点的比喻就是,作者说其实有一个shit一直粘着我们,你们以为是gem的东西其实是shit,我很早就发现了这shit,所以很好地live with it了,然后他如祥林嫂一般不停述说为何这是shit,用了300页,最后用了两页纸,毫无建设性地提了提他如何live with shit。读完之后最大的感受是,tmd终于读完了,终于可以骂人了。10-08

    2008.6.18 看了几章觉得整本书都是bullshit. 2009.12.12 重新看完。废话很多,且尖酸刻薄。他的想法其实很简单,我也是基本同意他的观点的。但是看完以后也不会跟别人推荐此书。实在是旁门左道愤青之极。12-12

    行文结构实在有点乱,用语和句法也不是很易懂,艰难的啃了一半都还没搞清楚整本书的逻辑。总体来说就是预测都是愚蠢的,一切都是不可知的,做好万全准备,比作无聊的预测要有用。另外,书里居然花了一章的时间去“鄙视”和笔者意见不一致的各个大家,着实没有大家之风啊。09-09
