ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Antifragile" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores the concept of antifragility, which goes beyond resilience or robustness, and focuses on systems and entities that actually benefit from disorder and volatility. The book introduces the idea that many modern systems are designed to be fragile, easily harmed by unexpected events. It proposes a shift in perspective, emphasizing the importance of optionality, tinkering, and understanding non-linearity to thrive in an unpredictable world. The author argues that true strength comes from the ability to adapt and improve from chaos, rather than simply resist it. This is not just a theoretical exploration but also practical guidance on how to navigate complex environments and build antifragile systems and lifestyles.
