I really liked the book. It is a very in depth dive into the limitations of the human mind when it comes to understanding and predicting rare impactful events. As these events are indeed unpredictable, it proposes putting yourself in a situation where you are prepared for so that then you don't need to predict.

I loved the most the last few chapters on the mathematical theories behind the epistemological concepts that the book explains. Maybe it's because I'm an engineer but I got it better when the author was not spitting his opinion about how stupid everyone else but him and Mandelbrot are, and he focused on the delivering the message.

In any case, I didn't dislike his style
