Back in 2002 I read Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Taleb and became a fan of his writing. Since then I’ve read all of his books and in each one I’ve learned actionable new things. I just finished reading Skin in the Game and I think it is his most accessible and thought provoking book yet. Taleb does not pull punches and there are no sacred cows. Be prepared to be challenged and offended but read this book.

“Forecasting (in words) bears no relation to speculation (in deeds).”

I’m going to share a run of quotes from his book this month since the Monday Pun Days have come to an end.
