This book must be read with a grain of salt, as Mr. Taleb can be ornery and cantankerous. However, I find his concepts compelling, even if his delivery can be questionable at times. I find his comments on education to be most off-base, while his comments on medicine and health care to be spot on. I especially resonate with his idea of "skin in the game" as necessary for achieving some semblance of equity, and I also liked his ideas on variability in diet as healthy. I'd like to go back through this book and examine it in more depth at some point.
