The Antifragile Reader
Nassim Taleb's Incerto, plainly toldBy Andries J. Greyling
Length1h 1m
About this audiobook
Nassim Taleb's five-book Incerto — Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game — carried in one warm read, for the reader who loved one volume and can't quite hold the rest. A reverent guest-at-the-fire companion in the house voice: his ideas attributed and his prose left to him, the author's own plain glosses always marked. Independent and unaffiliated with the author.
