Summary

The book Antifragile: Things that gain from disorder, written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, debates the concept of antifragility and how specific systems thrive precisely because of the shocks and insecurities they go through.

Mobilizing examples from finance, politics, ecology, medicine, architecture, and education, Taleb takes a tour of all areas of human life and beyond to identify and analyze the components that strengthen systems, making them antifragile. Unlike strength and robustness, the antifragile not only resists stress but learns from it and improves from it.
