- swanson 9y agoI find these to be the best "single post summaries". His books are very challenging to read, but I've always found them rewarding once I've finished/absorbed the material. No pain, no gain I suppose! Antifragile: https://medium.com/thinking-is-hard/live-like-a-hydra-c02337782a89 https://medium.com/thinking-is-hard/live-like-a-hydra-c02337...

- abecedarius 9y agoThank you. He does seem to have some good ideas, but boy is there a lot of self-indulgence to wade through; I tried getting into a couple of his books and gave up.
