Description

From the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how some things actually benefit from disorder. 

In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. 

Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is immune to prediction errors. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is everything that is both modern and complicated bound to fail? The audiobook spans innovation by trial and error, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are heard loud and clear. 

Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to behave - and thrive - in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand and predict. Erudite and witty, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: What is not antifragile will surely perish.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"[This] is the lesson of Taleb...and also the lesson of our volatile times. There is more courage and heroism in defying the human impulse, in taking the purposeful and painful steps to prepare for the unimaginable." (Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point)

"[Taleb writes] in a style that owes as much to Stephen Colbert as it does to Michel de Montaigne." (The Wall Street Journal)

"The most prophetic voice of all.... [Taleb is] a genuinely significant philosopher...someone who is able to change the way we view the structure of the world through the strength, originality and veracity of his ideas alone." (GQ)

So annoyingly biased

What a shame that such a novel concept to learn about is drenched in constant and repetitive (and unsubstantiated) social commentary by the author. I tried to just skip his rants, but there’s no way to avoid them without missing some content as well and I finally gave up. I think I get the concept, it’s fascinating, but an executive summary would’ve been a much better use of my time.

Almost a 5

This was a great book, with a ton of relevant ideas and strategies. I took more notes while reading this book than I have from the past 10. However, the author's personal feelings and apparent bitterness are shared too frequently for my liking. He calls out many people that he doesn't agree with or like. This detracts from the ideas in the book.

Brilliant but annoying book, purely annoying performance

A lot of interesting ideas, though I forgot how difficult it is to get through Taleb’s ego-driven logorrhea. Very annoying performance that perfectly matches the content.

History and health facts distorted!

Amazing book as long as we look at the facts and figures of our errors. Great guide to become robust.
The historical and health related facts are not correct.
1-Ghazalie was not Arab, he was Farsi speaking and at his time Arabic language was dominant in the region. Books were written in Arabic.
2- There is no Arabian Gulf, it has been Persian Gulf for thousand of years.
3- Human body is not a physical piece of matter only, it has chemical properties as well. The book is mixing right and wrong.
Mr. Taleb is far better to stay with his mathematical views.

antifragile is the answer

A functionally flawless treatise on the failing of modern progress, the state, and academia. This book, if read, will change the reader's perception of all social and economic systems.

good idea poorly communicated

the idea of anti-fragile is good, but the evidence is full of logical fallacies which makes it difficult for me to be engaged.

Inspiring Concept...

I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of becoming Antifragile through variability and stressors. The narrator was wonderful and was easy to listen to.

Great Overall

Honestly, this book has a lot of wisdom in it. It drags on a bit, but the points made were valid, interesting, and insightful. I'm glad I stuck it out.
