First edition of this work by the author of Black Swan. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Bill Thanks for the nice arguments. Best. Nassim." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Eric White.
In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one’s own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.
