In this profound and playful book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world's earliest - and most memorable - literary form. Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. Those who were too tall had their legs chopped off; those who were too short were stretched. Every aphorism here is about a Procrustean bed of sorts - we humans, facing the limits of our knowledge, the unseen and the unknown, resolve the tension by squeezing life and the world into crisp commoditized ideas, reductive categories, specific vocabularies and pre-packaged narratives. Only by embracing the unexpected - and accepting what we don't know - can we see the world as it really is.

思维清晰是勇气的结果，而不是反过来。

绝大多数沉迷于信息-网络-媒体-报纸的人都很难接受，获得智慧的（主要）方法是从头脑中除去垃圾信息。

只有当你可以自由地做任何事情，不需要明显的目的、理由和别人的要求时，你才算是真正存在于这世上。

等到你可以长时间什么都不做，什么都不学习，什么都不改进，而又完全没有负罪感，你就算是变得文明了。

年轻人的智慧跟老人的轻佻一样不讨人喜欢。

如果你可以失去全部财产，用不着为此而变得谦卑，那你才算是地位稳固。

这本书中的所有箴言在某种意义上都与“普罗克拉斯提斯之床”有关--在遇到我们不了解、不清楚的东西时，我们的解决方法是对自己的人生观和世界观进行“拉伸”或者“压缩”，迫使它们符合世俗的、预设的、人为制定的观念、门类和套路。
