En su libro más provocador y práctico, uno de los pensadores más destacados de nuestro tiempo redefine lo que significa entender el mundo, tener éxito en una profesión, contribuir a una sociedad justa y equitativa, detectar tonterías e influir en otros. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, citando ejemplos que van desde Hammurabi a Séneca, Antaeus el gigante hasta Donald Trump, muestra cómo la disposición en aceptar los propios riesgos es un atributo esencial de los héroes, santos y personas florecientes en todos los ámbitos de la vida.
