Antifragile

Key Concepts and Strategies

«Antifragile: How to Benefit from Chaos» is a work by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The book explores the concept of antifragility, suggesting that certain systems and organisms benefit and become stronger from shocks, uncertainty, volatility, and stress, unlike fragile ones that break. Taleb clarifies that antifragility goes beyond resilience or flexibility; where the resilient withstands shocks without changing, the antifragile improves. Examples cover various fields, including finance, medicine, business, and personal life. The author discusses strategies for building antifragile systems and personal development in an uncertain world, teaching not only to maintain stability but also to use randomness and surprises as opportunities for growth and improvement.
