内容简介
A condensed guide to life, Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Bed of Procrustes is an invaluable collection of aphorisms to help you navigate the modern world.
Second edition, revised and expanded
Why are we so often unwilling to accept that life is unpredictable? In this brilliant book Nassim Nicholas Taleb distils his idiosyncratic wisdom to demolish our illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance and erudition against modern philistinism and phoniness. Only by accepting what we don't know, he shows, can we see the world as it really is.
媒体推荐
Like Twain and Wilde before him, Taleb eats paradoxes for breakfast... The aphorism is Taleb to a tee. It showcases his wit and learning, and provides ways to fillet his enemies.
All his usual suspects are present to be corrected: bankers, fools, politicians, journalists... Present, too, are his heroes: the curious, the intellectually anarchistic, the idle philosopher (James Kidd Independent on Sunday)
quirky, entertaining collection of aphorisms, covering everything from the web to the injuriousness of doing too much work... a wry, often hilarious glimpse (Robert Collins The Times)
作者简介
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 INCERTO (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.
