Über diesen Titel

 Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, and The Bed of Procrustes.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world.

Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.

In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better.

Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear.

Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world.

Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.

“At once thought-provoking and brilliant.”—Los Angeles Times

“[Taleb] writes as if he were the illegitimate spawn of David Hume and Rev. Bayes, with some DNA mixed in from Norbert Weiner and Laurence Sterne. . . . Taleb is writing original stuff—not only within the management space but for readers of any literature—and . . . you will learn more about more things from this book and be challenged in more ways than by any other book you have read this year. Trust me on this.”—Harvard Business Review

“By far my favorite book among several good ones published in 2012. In addition to being an enjoyable and interesting read, Taleb’s new book advances general understanding of how different systems operate, the great variation in how they respond to unthinkables, and how to make them more adaptable and agile. His systemic insights extend very well to company-specific operational issues—from ensuring that mistakes provide a learning process to the importance of ensuring sufficient transparency to the myriad of specific risk issues.”—Mohamed El-Erian, CEO of PIMCO, Bloomberg

15 years in the field, I'm thankful for this book. Opened my eyes at more points than I care to admit.

Great book

Joe Ochmane is great narrator for Taleb's book. It was like listening to Dune from Frank Herbert. Powerful and inspiring. Thank you.

Insightful book

sas buch müsste ich merh fachvhoeren. die argumente sind so simple und einleuchtend dass man beim zuhören ins eigene gedank verfäll. und so die natrative verpasst. ich höre das buch mindestens einmal im jahr und jedes mal gewinne eien neue perspetive von nd aha effekt.

grossartigs buch, sehr aufschlussreiche perspective

In the book, Nassim Taleb makes solid proof of this claim that he has found the Philosopher's stone. In this extraordinary mix between knowledge and common sense the author shows humanity that true wisdom is not a prerogative of institutions but a result of curiosity and inquisitiveness. A manifest against the vanity of cretain brands of intellectual pursuit, a praise for the inteligence of the crowds, but at the same time a warning sign for the blind spots in any theory. In short: true alchimist tradition revisited.

Eureka !

While the term antifragile makes sense in the (fragile vs. antifragile, -1 vs +1) context, I really fell in love with the term 'posttraumatic growth'. While you would usually want to avoid trauma in every aspect of life, seeking antifragility turns these strong negative emotions into something extremely positive. Additionally, real options are a very interesting topic. The chapters about academia, banks & government bailouts are very good in their essence, but could have been a little shorter.

posttraumatic growth + real options

Interessante Gedanken insbesondere der Kern der Anti-Fragilität ist sehr interessant, da diese helfen stabiler werdende Systeme zu schaffen welche durch kontinuierliche Belastung besser werden.

interessante Gedanken gut Zusammenfassung

The main idea I great and inspiring. Listening to hours of selfobserving know-it-all literature name dropping is not. If you don't mind sitting through Talebs egocentric world view, you will surely enjoy and work on his ideas.

a very interesting idea on too many pages

The book is fantastic, don't get me wrong.
Definitely read it. But be critical.

The author does not make a huge effort admitting that whatever he says is within very certain limits. Like his examples of sunscreen or diabetes treatment.
He also makes the ancient sound way to glorious and does not point out often that most of "technology" is a result of human evolution of ideas - natural in that sense. In such, he develops a survivorship bias in the book, mostly ignoring the good developments we've done. I mean... toothpaste...really? Ask any lifetime dentist and he tells you about his/her experience with people using it or not using it.

Life goes by easiest by honoring the pharmacists wisdom: The dose makes the poison.

Great book, but with survivorship bias.
