I only read about 1/3 of this book and then I decided to give it a break. I may give it a go later but I was getting annoyed at how the author tells fictitious stories as though they were true and uses them as proof for his theory on Black Swans. Now, let me be clear, I believe his theory of Black Swans and very much believe that we humans think we know things that we have have very little idea about but his method turned me off and I finally had to quit reading the book, which is something I rarely do. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the future when I am in a different place in my life.
