Book Review Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder

摘要

The central theme of this book is the striking concept of anti-fragility. The author, Nassim Taleb, suggests that we should make ourselves not just less vulnerable to setbacks, but actually aim to take advantage of setbacks, so stressors, errors and changes lead to improvement. He describes a spectrum ranging from 'fragile' (affected negatively by stressors) to 'robust' (resist stressors) or 'resilient' (bounce back from stressors) and beyond these to 'antifragile' (benefit from stressors).
