520    In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the
       foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to 
       understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute 
       to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence
       others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, 
       Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb 
       shows how the willingness to accept one’s own risks is an 
       essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing 
       people in all walks of life.  As always both accessible 
       and iconoclastic, Taleb challenges long-held beliefs about
       the values of those who spearhead military interventions, 
       make financial investments, and propagate religious 
       faiths. -Goodreads.com
