The Bed of Procrustes - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

An entertaining and insightful collection of aphorisms.  Satirical, cutting but accurate - reminds me of The Devil's Dictionary.
A good combination with his other book, "Antifragility" - explores many of the same ideas but in a more succinct form, or in a form applied to different domains of life.

"An idea starts to be interesting when ou get scared of taking it to its logical conclusion."
