Description - Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The groundbreaking idea that some systems actually benefit from shocks, and how to expose ourselves to them - now in paperback

In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and his revelatory new book Antifragile offers a definitive solution- how to live in a world that is unpredicatable, chaotic, and full of shocks, and how to thrive during periods of disaster. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. For what Taleb calls the 'antifragile' is beyond the merely robust; it benefits from shocks, uncertainty and stressors.

The most successful of us, the most daring and creative will take advantage of disorder and invent new, more powerful opportunities and advantages beyond our expectations.
