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.
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.
Review
“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...”(James Kidd Independent on Sunday)
“[A] quirky, entertaining collection of aphorisms, covering everything from the web to the injuriousness of doing too much work... a wry, often hilaxadrious glimpse” (Robert Collins The Times)
为什么我们宁可用药物改变孩子的大脑，好让他们跟上学校课程，也不愿意调整课程安排来符合孩子的天性？《黑天鹅》作者塔勒布在The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms《随机生存的智慧：黑天鹅语录》中用出人意料的方式表达了他对这个荒谬世界的看法。
现代文明在给人类生活带来便利的同时，也产生了不少负面效应——它惯于通过改变人来适应科技，责怪现实不符合经济学模型，为了推销药品而发明新的疾病，把智力定义为可以在教室里考核的东西，说服人们相信雇佣并不是奴役。塔勒布在《随机生存的智慧》一书中主张：智慧的每一次失败，都可以归结为削足适履的结果。塔勒布还在《随机生存的智慧》中入木三分地分析了你所处世界的随机本质，道破人们视而不见的思维陷阱。

Nassim Nicholas Talebis 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.
People don"t like it when you ask them for help; they also feel left out when you don"t ask them for help.
The best revenge on a liar is to convince him that you believe what he said.
When we want to do something while unconsciously certain to fail, we seek advice so we can blame someone else for the failure.
France took Algeria hoping for a country to eat cassoulet, and instead France is now eating couscous.
It is harder to say no when you really mean it than when you don"t.
Never say no twice if you mean it.
We tend to define rudeness less by the words used (what is said) than by the status of the recipient (to whom it is addressed).
Your reputation is harmed the most by what you say to defend it.
The only objective definition of aging is when a person starts to talk about aging.
They will envy you for your success, for your wealth, for your intelligence, for your looks, for your status - but rarely for your wisdom.
Most of what they call humility is successfully disguised arrogance.
Much of the difference between what is work and what is leisure is branding.
