*writing still in process*

Rather than review this I thought for fun I would list some of the ideas and themes in this book, they tend to repeat themselves in a number of nonfiction books:Freakonomics, The Tipping Point......

The Black Swan
Infinite Monkeys typewriting
The Birthday Paradox
Survivorship Bias
The brains problems with nonlinear choices
Monte Carlo Simulation
Framing the statement determines the choice
ludic fallacy

Better yet the Black Swan Glossary
