What to Read: Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
If you haven’t read Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, you’re missing out on some thought-provoking insights surrounding the paradox of fragility and what it means to be “antifragile.” This book is not your typical self-help guide or fluffy beach read. It’s dense and takes some effort to read, sometimes sounds more like a textbook than most of today’s non-fiction. But Taleb’s informative yet witty tone draws you in, leaving you feeling like you’ve gained new knowledge through conversation with a clever friend. He challenges common assumptions about how to succeed in life and business by arguing that we should embrace chaos and uncertainty instead of trying to control it. It’s a dry read at times, but it’s worth pushing through.

Gear Upgrade: Bar Set (shaker, stir, muddler, decanter)
If you’re looking to up your cocktail game, it’s time to invest in a quality bar set. While your current shaker may have seen better days, a high-quality set can help you stir, muddle, and shake up top-notch drinks that will impress your guests. One of the essential items to add to your bar collection is a sturdy shaker that doesn’t leak or stick. A good shaker is essential for mixing a perfectly chilled drink, while a sturdy stirrer can help you achieve a smoother finish. And what’s a bar without a muddled cocktail or two? A high-quality muddler will make the process of extracting the flavors of fresh herbs and fruits a breeze. To top it all off, a sleek decanter will elevate the presentation of your spirits and make for an impressive display on your bar cart.
