    Summary: Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 34min
    Please note: This is a summary of the book, not the original book. This summary is not endorsed by or affiliated with the original author. Randomness is everywhere and involved in almost everything, especially politics and the economy. Presidents foolishly boast about all the jobs that “he created”, when it was only the chance of the market. Our belief that we owe our success to our own abilities, instead of recognizing most of our success comes from chance, is just another primitive superstition from our ancient past, the author argues. The human mind all too often sees elephants in the clouds, when it's really just water vapors that happen to have randomly assumed shapes we associate with elephants for a brief period of time. The author is particularly critical of the literary mind, which is trained to see meaning where there is only noise. The literary mind is so obsessed with meaning that it extracts all sorts of meanings from obscure passages and insignificant events that have nothing to do with those meanings at all. They see the intent of an author where it was clearly only random, such as a minute word choice or the placement of a certain imagery. The study of randomness is a young science, but quickly growing. The error that skill is more important than sheer fortune has its worst impact in the market, the author argues. We all too often hold up a great businessman in high esteem for his great skill and vision, when in reality 99.9 percent of his riches are due purely to chance. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Kleines Handbuch für den Umgang mit Unwissen
    Eine Anleitung zum Nach-, Quer- und Gegendenken»Ich weiß, dass ich nichts weiß«, erkannte bereits Sokrates. Wie wir aber mit dem Unbekannten, mit dem, was wir nicht wissen, faktisch umgehen und idealerweise umgehen sollten, das beschreibt der Risikoforscher und Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb in seinem Handbuch. Er enthüllt die Begrenztheiten unserer Datenverliebtheit genauso wie die folgenschweren Irrtümer und Voreingenommenheiten unseres Denkens. So zeigt er, wie uns Denkfehler, falsche Kategorien und blinde Flecken immer wieder in die Irre führen - und wie wir mit Unwissen gewinnbringend umgehen können. Denn: »Für den einen ist ein Irrtum bloß ein Irrtum, für den anderen ist er eine Information.«

    Summary: Skin In The Game by Nassim Nicholas Taleb , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
    While a standalone, Skin in the Game also serves as the fifth volume in the author's Incerto series, which explores the concept of uncertainty and randomness in history and our personal lives and attempts to reconcile how to handle uncertainty in everyday life.  In this book, Taleb recognizes the fact that it is only the people who take risks - that is, people with “skin in the game” - that comprehend how the world works better than those spared from risk-taking.  Ideally, the world should be run under a free market where everybody bets on their own money and resources - however, almost none of the major decisions made today (when to go to war, when to financially bail out the banks) are made by people who have anything to lose in the game. This is partly why Black Swan events have had special influence in the 20th and 21st centuries, and why before modern times, kings went with their troops to battle and risked their own lives. Note: This is a summary of Skin in the Game and not the original book. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Roughman.

    Introduction to Black Swan Theory , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 45min
    From 9/11 to the recession of 2007, these are events that have scared history and the United States of America. They were unprecedented by the people of those days, yet, we look back at those events and saw the impending signs of what was to happen. Nassim Nicholas Taleb accounted for these events and our perspectives today as the Black Swan Theory. Much like how what seemed to be the norm and logical answer to the question “what’s the color of a swan?” and then baffled by the discovery of black swans in Western Australia, people did not see these events coming. In fact, they seemed to have deluded, biased, believed that there was no way a war can break out in a civilized world. That there will be no more events matching the Great Depression and that nuclear war is only a story in American fiction movies. ungekürzt.
