The Incerto (series)

The Incerto is a series of books by philosopher and statistician Nassim Nicholas Taleb, exploring uncertainty, risk, and randomness in life and decision-making. It consists of five works: "Fooled by Randomness," "The Black Swan," "Antifragile," "The Bed of Procrustes," and "Skin in the Game." Taleb argues that many aspects of life are unpredictable and that traditional methods of understanding risk often fail. He emphasizes the importance of resilience to uncertainty, the dangers of overconfidence, and the value of practical wisdom in navigating an unpredictable world. The series challenges readers to rethink their perceptions of knowledge and risk.
