具体描述
By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses his major ideas in ways you least expect.
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.
Playful and irreverent, these aphorisms will surprise you by exposing self-delusions you have been living with but never recognized.
With a rare combination of pointed wit and potent wisdom, Taleb plows through human illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance, and erudition against the modern diseases of nerdiness, philistinism, and phoniness.
作者简介
NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB is an essayist, belletrist, & researcher only interested in one single topic, chance (particularly extreme & rare events, the "Black Swans" i.e. outliers); but it falls at the intersection of philosophy/epistemology (skepticism; knowledge about the dynamics of history; inferential claims), philosophy/ethics (stoicism facing random events; theories of nonhedonic happiness), mathematical sciences (probability theory, statistical physics), social science/finance (opacity & incomplete information in economics), and cognitive science (the mental biases making us "fooled" by randomness). He mainly derives his intuitions from a 2-decade long and intense practice of derivatives trading ("nondull" activities with plenty of randomness).

读后感
——by木木勺 我记得第一次接触人生格言这个词，是在小学上了几年但认字还不多的时候，当时觉得人生格言真是神奇，好像只要找到了它就找到了一辈子的指南针和行为规范。那时候同学们之间经常相互交流，你的人生格言是什么啊？每听到一个特别唬人的就记在本子上，因为写作文的...
评分在希腊神话中，普罗克拉斯提斯是一个小城邦的主人。他招待客人的方式非常独特：他引诱旅人进门，为他们提供丰富的大餐，然后邀请他们在一张非常特别的床上过夜。他非让这张床刚好和客人的身长一丝不差。如果客人个子太高，他就用锋利的斧子把他们的腿截短；如果客人个子太矮，...

评分一个个简短的格言组成，有的格言细细品味很深刻，有的内容很贴近生活，但是有的语句我至今也没有明白。里面有一些句子希望和度过此书的朋友一起探讨。 比如“如果有人给你好几个理由说明他为什么想得到这份工作，不要雇佣他。”这句话，和生活很贴近，面试时自己也曾经有这样的...
评分我喜欢装帧精美的书，也许是因为我是个女生。思想的深度需要慢慢积累，16岁，看米兰昆德拉的书几页就放下了，我期待自己的长大，期待不是因为翻译和语言的差异而不能领悟其中。19岁，终于看懂了纳博科夫的Lolita, 看清，只是时间的问题，只是我们需要慢慢长大，不急不躁。期待T...

#微書評#The author Taleb wrote that we find it to be extremely bad taste for individuals to boast of their accomplishments; but when countries do so we call it 'national pride'.
评分Most of what I fear has the titillating prospect of adventure.
评分Black swan比起来这个算个吊。
评分故弄玄虚，不知所谓。
评分有点像《沉思录》，全篇充满作者各种短小精炼的感悟。这得看读者喜欢不喜欢这样的格式。我更喜欢附有一大段阐释的精句，比较好消化。
