He was popular with the educated elite of the Greco-Roman Empire, but Thomas Jefferson also had Seneca on his bedside table.
As always both accessible and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about the values of those who spearhead military interventions, make financial investments, and propagate religious faiths. His political leaning leaks through so much. Without it, fools and crooks will benefit, and their mistakes will never come back to haunt them.". it would be better if it was half as long. He dislikes any and all who aren't what he considers to be traders and risk takers. Yes this isn’t groundbreaking to statisticians but it is to people like me, in particular in the personal way he presents the concepts. I enjoyed this, obviously a knowledgeable guy with occasional insights. Lord William Rees-Mogg,
That being said, it was entertaining and some food for thought. La prospettiva che cambierà le nostre idee sulla società e ispirerà le nostre scelte quotidiane.
He’s wealthy, so, as he says, has F.U money, life looks different when you’re wealthy, you can afford to pick holes in everything that everyone else is doing wrong, which he does the whole book. Written in a style that comes with the freedom to say what one thinks. Skin in the Game is an enjoyable collection of anecdotes, observations and angry diatribes.

He is getting better with each successive book.
Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. I valued the discussion of minority rule and the concept of an absorbing barrier applied to financial ruin, and the authors use of unreliable narratives was entertaining as always. As with most books, be prepared to let some things go or consider more broadly, not everything is suggested for rigid interpretation. We live in an extraordinary time.
It is so full of derision against anyone who is not exactly like him, so full of his many personal vendettas that is incoherent.He skips from subject to subject with little logic, and covers subject rather superficially. Questo audiolibro offre una nuova visione del mondo.
On the other hand there is Twitter/Facebook Taleb where he partakes in trollish discourse I just am not used to from people I look up to.
The incredible true story of the card-counting mathematics professor who taught the world how to beat the dealer and, as the first of the great quantitative investors, ushered in a revolution on Wall Street. It is the backbone of risk management, but it's also an astonishingly rich worldview that, as Taleb shows in this book, applies to all aspects of our lives.
It is also much inferior to the previous three volumes in the "Incerto" series. The book feels like it was dashed off after too many beers on the way to a barroom brawl.But Taleb obviously delights in his angry skewering of the rest of the world.
I'm inclined to lean toward what I take to be Taleb's argument that the term 'irrational' is overplayed and does not really describe what is happening in a lot of the behavioral economics studies but to just dismiss the whole field as bunk goes much too far. This book, while fascinating to long time Taleb fans, is more preaching to the choir, and so he skips a lot of he lead up and background discussions that had been part of the backbone of his other books. It was an excellent thought provoking book.

Somehow he sells this stuff "to the Swiss" (his trading term for the average faceless sucker), so more power to him for developing a business plan and finding a paying audience for his bile. A bit like the American know it all at the party that just needs to listen before he talks. Harry wasn’t as well happy about this, but he accepted his function as ideal he could, attempting to stroll the great line in between his obligation to Mab as well as staying among the heros. Sean Pratt, The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets, Narrated by: After four decades spent ascending to the top of the investment management profession, he is today sought out by the world's leading value investors, and his client memos brim with insightful commentary and a time-tested, fundamental philosophy.
By: However he doesn’t always extend the same courtesy to others. Way too much belittling of others and more “I”s than I think I have ever read in a book that was not an autobiography. Unlimited listening on select audiobooks, Audible Originals, and podcasts. For example, he uses Richard Thaler's self deprecating story about enjoying a tie his wife bought him when he wouldn't have bought it himself as proof of what an idiot Thaler is.

Taleb presents a problem for me. He brooks no half-hearted response.
Jim Paul, Over 10,000 years ago there were fewer than 10 million people on the planet. In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Morgan Housel, Narrated by: And businesses that are succesfull are by definition not stupid.
As usual, NNT is incredibly frank on delivering his opinions.

Comes across as basically a rant about everything that’s wrong with society and all the things the author just does like in life.
Howard Marks, Narrated by:
Unable to add item to List. I’ve enjoyed and applies Taleb’s insights for years, but this book was so infused with petty arguments and dismissive quips that it was difficult to pull anything useful from it. He doesn’t like Michelin star food so rants about what a waste it is, no mention of the effort and ability of the chef, he’d rather bloat out on a pizza and a beer , as a result he rants about it too long, as with other things. Read it. Brendan Moynihan, Please try again.

He might recognise one of his "Intellectual Yet Idiot"s there. The book is also itself quite asymmetrical (and therefore undermines the author's argument) in two ways. Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all - his fortune, his reputation, and his job - in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris.
Then he goes on to raise on a pedestal "ancient wisdom". Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do.

Narrated by Joe Ochman. Economies, companies and markets operate in accordance with patterns which are influenced by naturally occurring events combined with human psychology and behaviour.

Taleb makes some good points but he always overplays his hand and portrays himself and a very small handful of his heroes who 'have skin in the game' as the only people in the world who have contributed anything worthwhile. Ray Dalio. The author uncharacteristically wandered off topic so often that trying to reconstruct his arguments almost took more effort than the insight seemed worth.
