## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How does he think of these aphorisms?
*by S***K on 30 January 2011*

I had no idea who Nassim Taleb was until I heard some readings from his new book. It is short (111 pages c. A5 size) but packed with pithy aphorisms that make me giggle, reflective or just happy that there is someone else out there who has similar thoughts (but he puts them in a way I never could!). A book to dip into when you feel the need. It is no my desk now.Too many examples to quote but here is one: "The curious mind embraces science; the gifted and sensitive, the arts; the lefotvers become economists"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sherbet dip
*by M***N on 24 March 2017*

Wonderful bedside book of what I would call quips. It is like a licorice, sherbet dip. With every dip you get another nice tangy taste.It is a shame it is not in couplets or quatrains as the would be easier to memorise. Great author and great original thinker.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Condensed Practical Wisdom
*by J***S on 24 March 2024*

I tremendously enjoyed the Bed of Procrustes. I suggest perhaps the Kindle edition isn't particularly my recommendation. I bought it on the Kindle, and I would say that having the book in physical form is better, as it isn't really a book to read and then put away. Better to have it close to hand always and keep reminding oneself of the advice and aphorisms inside.Taleb suggests it is best read in small installments, which is advice I would go along with, but whatever you do, and however you digest the text, it's better to have the book and read its content, than not have it because of how one should digest it.A treat, which can be read over and over.
