Enjoyed Reading Nassim Taleb’s “The Bed of Procrustes”? Then Try THESE 4 Brilliant Books!

You thought you knew exactly how the world works. You thought you had the major answers all figured out, and that your personal picture of reality was fully updated.

But then, you happen to read just one perfectly-crafted aphorism, quote, or sentence, and then you realized that “Yes! Actually, the world is like that!”

Now imagine an entire book that’s like that, containing more than 500 such lightning bolts to the prefrontal cortex, and you’d get something like The Bed of Procrustes, by Nassim Taleb.

It’s a collection of aphorisms (memorable expressions of a general truth or principle), that investigate opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand.

It’s also extremely thought-provoking and wise, with valuable insights concerning every vital part of life that we deal with each day.

I highly recommend it, and I’ve written a complete, 6,300-word breakdown of The Bed of Procrustes for the Stairway to Wisdom, which you can access for free here.

But if you’ve already read that one, or you like Taleb and philosophical aphorisms but you’re just in the mood for something a little different…I’ve got you covered!
