Boardroom Talk – The wisdom of Nassim Taleb; words that someone should turn into a poster

By Alec Hogg

A good friend gave me a copy of Nassim Taleb's book Anti-Fragile – one of the few of his that I've not yet read. It's been elevated to the top of my rather lengthy to-read list. Taleb is a masterful philosopher on our modern financial system. His gift is to make the rest of us think – often very differently.

I've had the privilege of spending quality time with Taleb a few times since attending a half-day workshop ahead of a hedge fund conference in Nice a decade and a half back. Those few hours transformed the way I see the world. A process accelerated by reading and re-reading his first book, Fooled By Randomness.
