11. Antifragile - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

from Wiser Than Yesterday: Educational Book Reviews and Summaries

Nassim Nicholas Taleb present a blueprint of how to live in a 'Black Swan' world.He begins the book:"Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better"He spends the rest of the book explaining how to become antifragile. It is a great resource for anyone wanting to have greater control on a random world and to grow stronger as things go wrong.SyncifyThe social audio app - Listen to podcasts and books together with friends.Combat isolation and lonelinessLearn more by sharing ideasSign up at SyncifyApp.com Don't Forget to leave a comment on this episode See podvine.com/privacy-policy for podcast listener privacy info.
