Throughout his legendary career, John C. Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Mutual Fund Group and creator of the first index mutual fund, has helped investors build wealth the right way and led a tireless campaign to restore common sense to the investment world. Along the way, he's seen how destructive an obsession with financial success can be. Now, with Enough, he puts this dilemma in perspective. Inspired in large measure by the hundreds of lectures Bogle has delivered to professional groups and college students in recent years, this book will help you discover what it really means to have "enough" and how close you are to really having it. |

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable - Nassim Nicholas Taleb |

A black swan is a highly improbable and unpredictable event that carries a massive impact. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. In The Black Swan, bestselling author and epistemologist Nassim Nicholas Taleb explains everything we know about what we don�t know. According to Taleb, humans are hardwired to learn specifics when they should be focused on generalities. We restrict our thinking to the irrelevant and inconsequential, while large events continue to surprise us and shape our world. The Black Swan is about randomness and uncertainty and offers surprisingly simple tricks for dealing with black swans and benefitting from them. |
