{"product_id":"aphorisms-and-comments-maximilian-hirner-9781689185998","title":"Aphorisms and Comments: on Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Incerto","description":"The inspiration for this book came from the best aphorists of world history: Lichtenberg, Montaigne, Goethe, Nietzsche, Karl Kraus, and of course Nassim Nicholas Taleb.If you want to dig deeper into Taleb's concepts, I hope these comments may help you a bit with it.What I did isn't much - I just applied his concepts to the world and the thoughts other people had about it (and said thoughts), but still managed to come to some interesting conclusions, and have some ideas of my own.Since I am too lazy to do more work, I decided to write a book of aphorisms, delivering as much information to you as possible in a text as short as possible.In 2014, I discovered Taleb's books (starting with \"Antifragile\"); in 2016, I contacted him via the social networks; in 2018, I decided to write my first book, inspired by him.Maestro Taleb is with little doubt the greatest living philosopher and polymath. He changed my way of thinking, and catalysed it. For all I learned from him, I owe him a lot. This book shall pay some of this intellectual debt, among other tings.That's it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maximilian Hirner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1689185996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781689185998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Maximilian Hirner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173092094207,"sku":"9781689185998","price":7.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_382cfa66-adf2-45e0-ab55-d2a75479b10e.jpg?v=1689790982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aphorisms-and-comments-maximilian-hirner-9781689185998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
