Ever felt like life just sucker-punched you out of nowhere? That's exactly what Nassim Taleb calls a Black Swan event.
Most people think they can predict the future by looking at patterns. They study charts, analyze trends, and feel safe in their little bubble of certainty.
However, the biggest events that shape our livesâmarket crashes, pandemics, breakthrough innovationsâare the ones nobody sees coming. ..
Beyond that, it's about how your brain tricks you into thinking you understand a world that's fundamentally unpredictable:
-
Stop trying to predict everything and start building resilience for anything
-
Rebuild your investment portfolio and life plan to deal with shocks
-
Prepare for worst-case scenarios instead of hoping for the best
