　　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

Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side

effects—modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for

not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs,

defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and

convincing people that employment is not slavery.

Playful and irreverent, these aphorisms will surprise you by

exposing self-delusions you have been living with but never

recognized.

With a rare combination of pointed wit and potent wisdom, Taleb

plows through human illusions, contrasting the classical values of

courage, elegance, and erudition against the modern diseases of

nerdiness, philistinism, and phoniness.
