Book Summary: Antifragile by Nassim Taleb

Book Summary of 'Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder' by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Summarized by Dean Bokhari About: Antifragile by Nassim Taleb is about the things in life that improve - and actually thrive - when subjected to stress, uncertainty, and disorder... Just like your muscles thrive and strengthen when they're subjected to stressful situations, such as an intense weight-lifting session.

Just like scandals and rumors have a propensity to spread like wild-fire when people try to cover them up, or how riots and protests get even bigger when they're repressed - there's a wide category of other things in life that also benefit from this kind of chaos, disorder, and volatility. This category is what author Nassim Taleb refers to as the "antifragile." Antifragility is not the same as resilience - while resilience is about resisting stress while staying the same, antifragility is about resisting - and even welcoming - stress while getting better and better.
