Skin in the Game: The Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

2.0

This author is so far up his own was it's almost impossible to take anything he says to heart. Even when agreeing with his points I found myself rolling my eyes at his self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, self-congratulatory moaning. The only person smarter than you, dear reader, is the writer himself. And the only one stupider than anybody who disagrees with any of his opinions, is the critic who negatively reviewed his last books. I'd be interested to read another book on the same thesis by someone with a little more sympathy for the human race.
