Nassim Nicholas Taleb


Work destroys your soul by stealthily invading your brain during the hours not officially spent working.
Amen to that, brother!  From his 2010 book, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms.  Taleb is a Lebanese-born philosopher, writer, and practitioner of mathematical finance.  He is best known for his 2007 book about unpredictable events, The Black Swan, which warned of the fragility of the global financial structure.  This is the first of three consecutive posts featuring his aphorisms.
