Antifragile

Things That Gain from Disorder

This book discusses how certain systems, including economic and biological, actually benefit from shocks, volatility, and uncertainty. Taleb introduces the concept of "antifragility", a property beyond resilience, where these systems thrive and grow when exposed to chaos. The book challenges conventional wisdom about risk and decision-making.
