Antifragile: How to Benefit from Chaos

“Antifragile” is a unique book: it talks about a key property of people, systems, and more, a property that until now has not had a name. In a world where uncertainty reigns, one cannot wish for more than to be antifragile, that is, to be able not just to remain unscathed when confronted with the chaos of life but also to become better than before, to evolve, to develop. Taleb formulates simple rules that allow us to overcome fragility and act in such a way that unpredictable uncertainty, that formidable and sudden Black Swan, does not harm us — and moreover, that this rare and powerful bird helps us to improve. For this, one must first realize: by nature, we are antifragile and should not allow anyone to deprive us of this wonderful property.
