The Bed of Procrustes

Those of you have enjoyed reading Nassim Taleb's books, The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness, should enjoy reading his latest book, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms.

The book is a collection of sayings, aphorism, and thoughts that will help stretch your brain. It is an easy read with only 128 pages, great for reading on a train or plane. In case you are wondering who Procrustes is, I'd rather not tell you to avoid ruining the concept of the book for you.

Taleb fans should find The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms an interesting read.
