Summary of Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: Conversation Starters

The Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb released his bestselling book Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder in 2012. This book is part of the Incerto series. Taleb investigates the phenomena of uncertainty, luck, opacity, human error, probability, risk and decision-making in a world we humans barely understand. Human bones get stronger when subjected to tension and stress. Rumors and riots intensify when repressed. Many things in this life benefit from disorder, volatility, stress, and turmoil. What Taleb defined as ‘antifragile’ is a category that not only gains from chaos but also need chaos to survive and thrive.

Newsweek praises Teleb’s bold book on the reason why we should “embrace uncertainty, randomness, and error.” They add that this book “may just change our lives.” The Economist praises Antifragile and describes this book, “ambitious and thought-provoking.”

    The definition of antifragility goes beyond robustness or resilience. The resilient resists the shocks when he or she encounters them. The antifragile grows and gets better when he or she encounter shocks
