Anti-Fragile
Book •
In 'Antifragile', Nassim Nicholas Taleb introduces the concept of antifragility, which goes beyond resilience or robustness.
Antifragile systems thrive on volatility, randomness, and stressors, using them as sources of growth and improvement.
Taleb contrasts antifragility with fragility, which is harmed by disorder, and robustness, which resists change.
The book applies this concept to various domains, including economics, medicine, and personal development.
Taleb argues that embracing uncertainty and allowing for controlled exposure to stressors can lead to greater adaptability and long-term success.
'Antifragile' offers a new perspective on risk management and decision-making in an unpredictable world.
