I'm only going to have this body for a few decades, why would I lift? After-life is eternal.

Fooled by Randomness > Black Swan > Antifragile > Skin in the Game
That's chronological order and probably the best one too

Just skip right to Antifragile, all the concepts are are there. Read Black Swan first if you're not sure, it has the concepts from Fooled by Randomness and the seed for Antifragile. Skin in the Game is just an extension of the ending of Antifragile. Bed of Procrustes is a meme.
