📝 Description
Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder introduces the concept of 'antifragility'—the property of systems that thrive and grow stronger when exposed to volatility, randomness, stress, and disorder. Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues that many things in life are fragile (they break under stress), resilient (they resist stress), or antifragile (they benefit from stress).
