Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder (Incerto)

Our lives are impossible without the chaos, variability and stress that constantly press upon us. In the face of uncertainty, we seek stability, but it becomes an obstacle to development. Amazingly, through uncertainty and the impact of change, people, things, and entire systems can evolve and become better. Nasim Taleb calls this trait antifragility and outlines simple rules that will help turn unpredictability and uncertainty into a source of self-improvement. Moreover, this property benefits both people and companies and even countries, and the range of questions that the book helps to clarify is extremely wide - from the method of errors, risk assessment to politics, education and medicine.
