By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses his major ideas in ways you least expect. The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology: the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs. It represents Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects.

I was initially concerned that the length of this book would mean it would contain less content than Taleb's other work. This was not the case! This title was jam-packed full of Taleb magic, a lot of it basic truths that I will benefit from encountering. And of course, the main point, the idea of the bed of Procrustes, was worth the price of admission. Bravo Taleb!
