#188: Nassim Taleb On Black Swans And The Right Mindset For An Uncertain Future

Published: Jan. 10, 2022, 6 p.m.

Nassim Taleb uses the metaphor of a black swan to explain highly significant, unpredictable events in nature — the sort which make all the difference. Yet we never worry about these things! Instead, we spend all our time focusing on much smaller problems.

In this episode we unpack the right mindset to have when encountering uncertain events, and how to use uncertainty to make you stronger, rather than weaker.

Starting from episode 181, we’re doing a series on Nassim Nicholas Taleb, his book Antifragile and the application of his ideas to learning, education and careers.

Full blog post summarsing the ideas in this podcast series.
