Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to immersing himself in problems of luck, randomness, human error, probability, and the philosophy of knowledge. He transformed his interests into three successful careers\u2014as a man of letters, a businessman-trader-risk manager, and a university professor. <\/p>\n

Although he spends most of his time as a fl\u00e2neur, meditating in caf\u00e9s across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University’s Polytechnic Institute and Principal of Universa Investments LP. <\/p>\n

His books, Fooled by Randomness<\/i> and The Black Swan<\/i> have been published in 31 languages with more than 3 million copies in print. The Black Swan idea is currently inspiring research papers in philosophy, statistics, psychology, economics, medical research, epidemiology, political science, and engineering.\n<\/p>\n
