Everything from Nassim Taleb, basically "the incerto", his four books are basically one book (https://www.amazon.com/Incerto-Fooled-Randomness-Procrustes-...)


I'm not sure why everyone is so excited about Taleb. Whatever wisdom there is in it is buried in page after page of bizarre chest thumping and silly stories. Reading it gives me a constant feeling of "ok he's finally going to get to his point.." but he never does. I'd recommend reading one book before buying the whole stupid boxed set. If you want mine you can have it!


May I have your entire stupid boxed set, please?


Sure let me know where to send it.


I like Taleb and have read Black Swan and AntiFragile. My only complaint is I think these concepts could have been explained much more concisely, perhaps 100 pages vs 400. Other than that, good stuff.
