Author and philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb offers a definitive solution for how to gain from disorder and chaos, while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. Taleb argues that many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What he 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.

    I do not have the words that express how much this resonates with me. Just wow. I had these ideas in my mind but I could not articulate them. This is clear now.

    Most brilliant and yet most underrated guy today... May be that's the price you have to pay for going against the current.

    Huge repsect from his knowledge and thoughts ! I'd read a book from him namely is Black Swan, from the beginning it was like the very hard for understanding his point, but I really didn't know which is the naturally keep reading this. Afterwards, by one than once analyzing then I realize that this guy is a very genius with his mind. His thoughts and books are most useful than others cheap self-help in any bookstore.

    True. Anti Fragile is difficult to read. Currently reading book Two. Decided to rather watch several videos on the book so as to make it easier for me to understand going forward.
