Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life (Incerto) Paperback – January 7, 2020

Skin in the Game by Nassim Nicholas Taleb challenges readers to think beyond the norm and look deeper into their lives. The book discusses the hidden asymmetries in daily life and effectively peels back the layers to uncover the truth in real-life situations. While the book is not particularly well-written, its arrogant and unique style reinforces the idea that these concepts were thought up by a human in the real world. Taleb bashes the idiots who created a system where they can't fail even when unpredictable events occur, shedding new light on the reality of society that readers may not have expected. Additionally, the book offers an exhaustive look at a different perspective, challenging readers on many aspects of their lives. Despite certain drawbacks, Skin in the Game is worth reading multiple times for its creative and interesting approach to complexity and uncertainty.
