Рискуя собственной шкурой. Скрытая асимметрия повседневной жизни

V svoeĭ novoĭ, rezko provokat͡sionnoĭ i odnovremenno predelʹno pragmatichnoĭ knige nepodrazhaemyĭ Nikolas Nassim Taleb rasskazyvaet, kak vazhno identifit͡sirovatʹ i filʹtrovatʹ chushʹ, otlichatʹ teorii͡u ot praktiki, poverkhnostnui͡u kompetentnostʹ ot nastoi͡ashcheĭ. Vy uznaete, chto takoe rat͡sionalʹnostʹ v slozhnykh sistemakh i realʹnom mire, simmetrii͡a i asimmetrii͡a i v chem sostoit logika prini͡atii͡a riskov. Napolni͡ai͡a novym smyslom privychnye poni͡atii͡a, takie kak "spravedlivoe obshchestvo", "professionalʹnyĭ uspekh", "lichnai͡a otvetstvennostʹ", i ne boi͡asʹ zadetʹ ėgo priznannykh kumirov, Taleb razvenchivaet lit͡semernye idei i deĭstvii͡a apologetov voennogo vmeshatelʹstva, investorov rynka t͡sennykh bumag i religioznykh propovednikov. Na primerakh Khammurapi i Iisusa Khrista, rimskikh i vizantiĭskikh imperatorov, Seneki i Donalʹda Trampa Taleb pokazyvaet, chto samoe vazhnoe kachestvo, obʺedini͡ai͡ushchee proslavlennykh geroev, bezzavetnykh svi͡atykh i genialʹnykh biznesmenov, - ne perenositʹ risk na drugikh."I͡A li͡ubli͡u, kogda meni͡a udivli͡ai͡ut. V sootvetstvii s print͡sipom vzaimnoĭ vygody i͡a zovu chitateli͡a v puteshestvie, kotoroe ponravilosʹ by mne samomu".(Nassim Nikolas Taleb)

In his new, sharply provocative and at the same time very pragmatic book, the inimitable Nicholas Nassim Taleb tells how it is important to identify and filter the stuff, to distinguish theory from practice, surface competence from the present. You will learn what rationality in complex systems and the real world, symmetry and asymmetry and what is the logic of risk-taking. Filling a new meaning to familiar concepts such as "fair society", "professional success", "personal responsibility" and not being afraid to hurt the ego recognized idols, Taleb debunks the hypocritical ideas and actions of the advocates of military intervention, investors in the securities market and religious preachers. Examples of Hammurabi and of Jesus Christ, the Roman and Byzantine emperors, Seneca, and Donald trump Taleb shows that the most important quality that unites famous heroes, selfless saints and brilliant businessmen — not to transfer the risk to others."I love it when you surprise me. In accordance with the principle of mutual benefit, I call the reader on a journey that would love me for myself."(Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
