  Skin in the Game by Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Book Summary 
  About | Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life by Nassim Nicholas Taleb 
   
  Nassim Nicholas Taleb was considered a modern prophet when his bestseller The Black Swan predicted the 2007 economic recession. Now, Skin in the Game, his newest book, is considered to be his most provocative and practical work yet. 
   
  In this text, Taleb redefines the modern way of understanding the world and offers critical insight into the best ways people can contribute to a fair and just society while influencing each other for the better. 
   
  By citing examples from the beginning of history (the Hebrew Bible and the Code of Hammurabi) all the way to the 2016 election of Donald Trump, Taleb builds a compelling case about the importance of risk and reward. In his view, a willingness to accept personal risk for a situation is a crucial character trait of those society considers heroes, saints, and all other successful people. 
   
  In other words, Skin in the Game tells us to refrain from trusting anyone that won’t put their own security on the line. Living with the consequences of real risk is what’s necessary for fairness and justice to prevail. 
   
  Here’s What You’ll Learn About in This Summary: 
   
  - Why the minority so often rule the preferences of the majority 
   
  - Why ethical rules aren’t universal 
   
  - Taleb’s reasons why it’s possible to be an intellectual but still an idiot 
   
  - Why you shouldn’t ever trust someone’s opinion if they stand to gain from your decision. 
   
  - The importance of having skin in the game for making decisions for greater society. 
   
  - Why you should distrust complicated solutions that someone else was paid to find 
   
  - And much, much more…

  Primalbranding - Create Belief...

  In one of the most original books of its kind ever written, Patrick Hanlon explains how the most powerful brands create a community of believers around the brand, revealing the seven components that will help every company and marketer capture the public imagination -- and seize a bigger slice of the pie.  What is the magic glue that adheres consumers to Google, Mini Cooper, and Oprah, but not to others? Why do many brands with great product innovation, perfect locations, terrific customer experiences, even breakthrough advertising fail to get the same visceral traction in the marketplace that brands like Apple, Starbucks, or Nike have? After years of working with famous brands like Absolut, Ford Motor Company, LEGO, Disney, Montblanc, Sara Lee, and others, Patrick Hanlon, senior advertising executive and founder of Thinktopia, decided to find the answers. His search revealed seven definable assets that together construct the belief system that lies behind every successful brand, whether it's a product, service, city, personality, social cause, or movement.  In Primal branding, Hanlon explores those seven components, known as the primal code, and shows how to use and combine them to create a community of believers in which the consumer develops a powerful emotional attachment to the brand. These techniques work for everyone involved in creating and selling an image -- from marketing managers to social advocates to business leaders seeking to increase customer preference for new or existing products. Primal branding presents a world of new possibility for everyone trying to spark public appeal -- and the opportunity to move from being just another product on the shelf to becoming a desired and necessary part of the culture.
