From the bestselling author of The Black Swan, a bold book that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility Why should we never listen to people who explain rather than do? Why do companies go bust? How is it that we have more slaves today than in Roman times? Why does imposing democracy on other countries never work? The answer: too many people running the world don't have skin in the game. In his inimitable, pugnacious style, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows that skin in the game applies to all aspects of our lives. It's about having something to lose and taking a risk. Citizens, lab experimenters, artisans, political activists and hedge fund traders all have skin in the game. Policy wonks, corporate executives, theoreticians, bankers and most journalists don't. As Taleb says, "The symmetry of skin in the game is a simple rule that's necessary for fairness and justice, and the ultimate BS-buster," and "Never trust anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them".

Kniha - autor Nassim Nicholas Taleb, 304 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A bold work from the author of The Black Swan that challenges many of our long-held beliefs about risk and reward, politics and religion, finance and personal responsibility In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one's own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life. As always both accessible and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious...

Tough times don't last. Tough people do. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world.Here Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better.Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls antifragile are things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world.Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.

What have the invention of the wheel, Pompeii, the Wall Street Crash, Harry Potter and the internet got in common? Why are all forecasters con-artists? What can Catherine the Great's lovers tell us about probability? Why should you never run for a train or read a newspaper? This book is all about Black Swans: the random events that underlie our lives, from bestsellers to world disasters. Their impact is huge; they're impossible to predict; yet after they happen we always try to rationalize them. A rallying cry to ignore the 'experts', The Black Swan shows us how to stop trying to predict everything - and take advantage of uncertainty.

Everyone wants to succeed in life. But what causes some of us to be more successful than others? Is it really down to skill and strategy - or something altogether more unpredictable?This book is the bestselling sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. It is all about luck: more precisely, how we perceive luck in our personal and professional experiences.Nowhere is this more obvious than in the markets - we hear an entrepreneur has 'vision' or a trader is 'talented', but all too often their performance is down to chance rather than skill. It is only because we fail to understand probability that we continue to believe events are non-random, finding reasons where none exist.

eBook: Bestseller amerického akademika a investičního poradce libanonského původu analyzuje fenomén "černých labutí", tj. nepředvídaných jevů a událostí s významným dopadem na život jedince nebo celé společnosti, jakým byl např. teroristický útok z 11. září 2001, globální nástup Internetu či propad akciových trhů z roku 1987. Podle autora - jednoho z hrstky odborníků, kteří předvídali nástup nedávné finanční a ekonomické krize - je příčinou naší nepřipravenosti na podobné zlomové události především setrvačnost našeho myšlení v podobě přílišné důvěry v ekonomy a prognostiky, přehnaného kategorizování či uchylování se k dosavadním zkušenostem tam, kde bychom měli přemýšlet co nejotevřeněji a nejobecněji. Talebova kniha, vyzývající k tomu, abychom přehodnotili náš ustálený pohled na svět a přiznali si, jak málo o něm víme, patří dnes k nejdiskutovanějším pracím ve své oblasti, deníkem The Times byla označena za jedno z nejvlivnějších děl posledních šedesáti let a díky autorovu širokému rozhledu, smyslu pro humor a zdravé provokativnosti je i velkým čtenářským zážitkem. Je to kniha jediné myšlenky: lidská mysl má mimořádně špatnou schopnost odhadovat budoucnost, a navíc si to nepřipouští. Může za to naše zčásti vrozená a zčásti získaná slepota vůči tzv. černým labutím, tedy mimořádným událostem velkého dopadu. Podle Taleba mají černé labutě v dějinách mnohem větší význam, než si připouštíme: kvůli nim se „dějiny neplazí, ale skáčou“. Až na to, že je ve zpětném zrcátku vidíme jinak: události dáváme do souvislostí a věříme, že sledovaly jakýsi „plán“.

eBook: Talebova zatím nejprovokativnější a zároveň nejpraktičtěji zaměřená kniha navazuje svým záběrem na bestsellery Černá labuť a Antifragilita. Autor znovu definuje, co znamená rozumět světu, být úspěšný ve své profesi, být prospěšný férové a spravedlivé společnosti nebo odhalit nesmysl. Citacemi od Chamurappiho přes Seneku až k Donaldu Trumpovi dokládá, že základním atributem hrdinů, světců a úspěšných lidí je ochota riskovat. Bez skrupulí problematizuje hodnotu zažitých ikon úspěchu: vojevůdců, bohatých investorů či hlasatelů náboženské víry. "Jestliže se těšíte výsadám, musíte zároveň podstupovat určité riziko a nenechávat cenu za vlastní chyby platit ostatní," říká Taleb. Kniha Nasadit vlastní kůži se věnuje čtyřem tématům: a) nejistotě a spolehlivosti poznání neboli detekci hovadin, b) symetrii lidského konání, tedy férovosti, spravedlnosti, odpovědnosti a vzájemnosti, c) sdělování informací v obchodním styku a d) racionalitě v komplexních systémech a ve skutečném světě. Tato kniha se celá točí kolem skutečnosti, že v reálném světě se od sebe jen obtížně odděluje mravnost na jedné straně od kompetentnosti na straně druhé. Autor si pokládá otázky jako: Čím to, že dnes máme víc otroků než v dobách starověkého Říma? Proč si vybrat chirurga, který nevypadá jako chirurg? Proč nás historikové matou, když píší o válkách, nikoli o dobách míru? Jak to, že se nám kandidáti na politické funkce s jasně pokřiveným charakterem jeví skutečnější než byrokraté s bezvadným životopisem? Proč uctíváme Hannibala? Čím to, že firma zkrachuje, jakmile do ní nastoupí profesionální manažer s cílem jí prospívat? Jak by měla být řízena diplomacie? O jakou hloubkovou logiku se opírá přijímání rizika?

How the Mongol invasions of the Near East reshaped the balance of world power in the Middle Ages.For centuries, the Crusades have been central to the story of the medieval Near East, but these religious wars are only part of the region's complex history. As The Mongol Storm reveals, during the same era the Near East was utterly remade by another series of wars: the Mongol invasions. In a single generation, the Mongols conquered vast swaths of the Near East and upended the region's geopolitics. Amid the chaos of the Mongol onslaught, long-standing powers such as the Byzantines, the Seljuk Turks, and the crusaders struggled to survive, while new players such as the Ottomans arose to fight back. The Mongol conquests forever transformed the region, while forging closer ties among societies spread across Eurasia.This is the definitive history of the Mongol assault on the Near East and its enduring global consequences.

In God Code Timothy Smith reveals his quest over decades to understand the complex messages he discovered in an ancient Hebrew manuscript of the Bible--some of them applying specifically to him!

God Code shows how Scripture is more amazing than we ever dreamed...a unique, layered book that may even reveal the future of generations living today. In the companion History Channel series, the author travels across continents in search of artifacts missing since Bible times--clues to their location revealed in God Code.

Penelope Lively has always been a keen gardener. This book is partly a memoir of her own life in gardens: the large garden at home in Cairo where she spent most of her childhood, her grandmother's garden in a sloping Somerset field, then two successive Oxfordshire gardens of her own, and the smaller urban garden in the North London home she lives in today. It is also a wise, engaging and far-ranging exploration of gardens in literature, from Paradise Lost to Alice in Wonderland, and of writers and their gardens, from Virginia Woolf to Philip Larkin.

In 1990, in a drafty basement archive in Prague, two American historians made a startling discovery: a Nazi roster from 1945 that no Western investigator had ever seen. The long-forgotten document, containing more than 700 names, helped unravel the details behind the most lethal killing operation in World War Two.In the tiny Polish village of Trawniki, the SS set up a school for mass murder and then recruited a roving army of foot soldiers, 5,000 men strong, to help annihilate the Jewish population of occupied Poland. After the war, some of these men vanished, making their way to the U.S. and blending into communities across America. Though they participated in some of the most unspeakable crimes of the Holocaust, "Trawniki Men" spent years hiding in plain sight, their terrible secrets intact.In a story spanning seven decades, Citizen 865 chronicles the harrowing wartime journeys of two Jewish orphans from occupied Poland who outran the men of Trawniki and settled in the United States, only to learn that some of their one-time captors had followed. A tenacious team of prosecutors and historians pursued these men and, up against the forces of time and political opposition, battled to the present day to remove them from U.S. soil.Through insider accounts and research in four countries, this urgent and powerful narrative provides a front row seat to the dramatic turn of events that allowed a small group of American Nazi hunters to hold murderous men accountable for their crimes decades after the war's end.

The international bestseller. Daily telegraph and the times books of the year. AI is the future - but what will that future look like? Will superhuman intelligence be our slave, or become our god? Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, utopias from dystopias, to explore the next phase of our existence. How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?'This is the most important conversation of our time, and Tegmark's thought-provoking book will help you join it' Stephen Hawking

Writing in response to Annie Ernaux and in conversation with Elena Ferrante, Colombe Schneck's three semi-autobiographical takes on a woman’s life form an elegant, powerful exploration of sexuality, bodily autonomy, friendship, loss and renewal. Colombe is seventeen in 1984 and carefree, busy discovering sex and studying for her baccalauréat.When she becomes pregnant her choice to have an abortion is never in question. Yet suddenly she must grapple with the body that has brought the precarity of her freedom into focus. Colombe and Héloïse are two little Parisian liberals, friends since the age of eleven.They look alike, have similar upbringings and for years they follow parallel paths: university, love affairs, work, marriage, children, divorce, more love affairs. They are the most enduring witnesses to each other’s lives, until illness betrays them. Colombe reconnects with Gabriel in her fifties; their relationship is passionate and transformative.As it unfolds, Colombe discovers many things about herself, including a newfound appreciation for swimming, and the euphoria and strength of a body learning when to push and when to let go. 'This is valuable writing. It has immense vitality. You will encounter a female narrator whose direct and bright-eyed stare at the world, and her self, is without shame or faux modesty.At the same time, it is also a deep study of existence, at various ages and stages in life.' — Deborah Levy

A Day in the Life of Abed Salama is a deeply immersive, stunningly detailed portrait of life in Israel and Palestine, and an illumination of the reality of one of the most contested places on earth.
