Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Approachable and Antifragile

Description

Praised as “the hottest thinker in the world right now“ and a “superhero of the mind“, Lebanese-American intellect Nassim Nicholas Taleb is well worth reading. He studied maths, applied his skills to the share market and now, financially stable, is free to feed his hungry mind. But in what sense can he be thought of as a philosopher? This is the central question that Lewis and I try to answer in this episode.
