The Black Swan was the best book I read over the past year. Thanks for posting this.

i enjoyed his book “the black swan”, altho’ it needed an edit.
it became repetitive.
Thanks for the post. I don’t usually catch Charlie Rose, and this was worth watching.
I profited by reading “The Black Swan,” and was then led to read Nassim’s “Fooled by Randomness” which covers some of the same ground, but is also worth reading.

I think the book is dynamite.
Yes, it’s a great book by a penetrating mind.
