Antifragile – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Antifragile is Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s groundbreaking exploration of systems—people, businesses, economies, cities, and even ideas—that don’t merely survive volatility and chaos, but actually grow stronger because of it. Part of Taleb’s influential Incerto series, this book turns traditional thinking about risk, uncertainty, and prediction on its head. Using vivid examples, ancient wisdom, and sharp street-level insights, Taleb shows why stressors, randomness, and shocks are not threats, but essential ingredients for long-term strength. In a world defined by Black Swan events, Antifragile offers a blueprint for building systems—and lives—that thrive in uncertainty. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
