The Bed of Procrustes


This 2010 book by Nicholas Nassim Taleb borrows its title from the Greek mythological character infamous for his abductions and whims. The book highlights the human tendency to fit facts and observations into defined categories in our attempt to explain the things around us. The book is full of counter-intuitive insights and witty aphorisms. An amazingly good read!
