Im halfway through this riveting read and Ive gotta say that this book should be
required reading for any investor. Whether you work in finance or are interested
in your own personal finance you should listen to what Nassim Nicholas Taleb has
to say. 

Wall Street thinks it has all the answers, but thats the Black Swan
at work. Any event can be reduced and analyzed after the fact, but we will never
be able to predict the unpredictable, which is what most of the major events in
history have been. 

This book will make you look at life very differently.
