Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder

Nassim Nicholas Taleb's book explores the concept of antifragility, which goes beyond resilience or robustness. It discusses how certain systems, entities, and life aspects benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil, gaining strength and improving through these challenges. The book provides a blueprint for living in a world where unpredictable, highly improbable events, known as Black Swans, are common. The content covers topics such as modernity's denial of antifragility, a nonpredictive view of the world, optionality, technology, the nonlinear, via negativa, and the ethics related to fragility and antifragility.
