Antifragile (Paperback)

Antifragile (Paperback)

If you've been meaning to read Antifragile, this paperback edition is a good place to start.

Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes.Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.

About the Book

• In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world
• In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner
• The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust
• The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better
• Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events
• Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all?
