The Bed of Procrustes - Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms (Nassim Nicholas Taleb, 2016)

(156 pages)

The content is well-described by the title.

Third book of the five-book Incerto.

Many of the little sayings are valuable; they also tend to repeat or encapsulate the text from the first two books (probably the next two as well, I will be reading those in the not-too-distant future).

While reading, I was thinking that aphorisms overlap with poetry - dense, thus harder to read, thus better consumed in smaller doses.  Taleb himself mentions this comparison in what he called the "Postface" at the end of the book.
