The Bed Of Procrustes : Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms ISBN: 9780141985022 Publication Date: 1 December 2016
New edition, fully updated and expanded
In a climate when iconoclasm is the smartest intellectual stance - whether against bankers, traders, politicians, the energy industry, or journalists - one of today's most prominent rabble-rousers gives his quick-witted and snappy guide to questioning the status quo.
With characteristic panache and brio, Taleb uses aphorisms to condense his rambunctious ideas and style. This is the perfect reference for anyone searching for the right questions to ask.
About the Author
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is an uncompromizing no-nonsense thinker for our times. He has spent his life immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge, and he has led three high-profile careers around his ideas, as a man of letters, as a businessman-trader, and as a university professor and researcher. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's School of Engineering. He is the author of the 4-volume NCERTO (Antifragile, The Black Swan, Fooled by Randomness, and The Bed of Procrustes).
Taleb refuses all awards and honours as they debase knowledge by turning it into competitive sports.

It is well worth the money unlike some cheaper alternatives that do not last that long or break often.
