Antifragile – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Antifragile book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores why some systems, businesses, people, and ideas do more than withstand uncertainty—they become stronger because of it. Taleb introduces the concept of antifragility as an alternative to simply being resilient or robust.

The book examines how exposure to volatility, disorder, mistakes, and unexpected events can sometimes create improvement and growth. Drawing on economics, philosophy, science, and everyday life, Taleb challenges conventional approaches to risk and encourages readers to build systems that can benefit from uncertainty rather than merely survive it.
