    《黑天鵝效應》《反脆弱》《不對稱陷阱》作者塔雷伯最凝練、精闢的警世格言集1000天的安全,不保證1001天心領神會醒腦警句,對抗虛假、蠢俗,跨越思考局限原文書名《普洛克拉斯提之床》(The Bed of Procrustes)取自希臘神話:普洛克拉斯提是一位國王,他引誘訪客留宿,為使床符合客人身長,將高個兒雙腿截短,把矮子身體拉長。故事聽來不可思議,在塔雷伯看來,卻正是某些現代文明發展的縮影——改變人類行為以適應科技、將經濟危機怪罪於現實與經濟模型不符、發明疾病以利銷售更多藥物、將聰明定義為在校考試成績好,甚至要大家相信受僱於人並不是當奴隸。內容嬉笑怒罵兼且離經叛道,這些警句有助你看清現實,擺脫知識局限。塔雷伯以他一針見血的機鋒和大智慧,將勇氣、優雅、博學的古典價值觀與現代性的迂蠢、庸俗、虛假等弊病對照在我們眼前,爬梳了人類的種種幻覺。</... ...
