My thoughts on all books by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

About Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
As all of Nassim's books sort of build on each other and further develops his theories Fooled By Randomness (his first book) is a good place to start.
Fooled by Randomness is an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand.

About The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was.

About The Bed of Procrustes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
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.

About Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
in Antifragility Taleb offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what he calls the "antifragile" is one step beyond robust, as it benefits from adversity, uncertainty and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension.

Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, and proposing that things be built in an antifragile manner. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragility provides a blueprint for how to behave-and thrive-in a world we don't understand and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand. He who is not antifragile will perish. Why is the city state better than the nation state, why is debt bad for you, and why is almost everything modern bound to fail? The book covers innovation, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. Throughout, the voice and recipes of the ancient wisdom from Phoenician, Roman, Greek, and Medieval sources are heard loud and clear.

About this video: I cover all of Nicholas Nassim Taleb's books: Fooled By Randomness, The Black Swan, Bed of Procrustes and Antifragile. I'll briefly recount some of the ideas that I remember from all of Taleb's books and explain why he is one of my favorite contemporary non-fiction authors that it'll benefit just about anyone to read. A lot of Taleb's thoughts are centered around probability and the financial markets but the applies his ideas to many other topics.
