Antifrágil
Things That Gain from Disorder (Incerto)
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
En El cisne negro, Taleb planteó un problema (el de las repercusiones que causan las cosas que nadie puede prever…) y en Antifrágil nos ofrece una solución definitiva: cómo obtener beneficios del desorden y el caos, al tiempo que nos protegemos de las fragilidades y de los acontecimientos adversos. Lo que Taleb denomina “lo antifrágil” va más allá de lo robusto, puesto que se beneficia de los shocks, las incertidumbres y del estrés, del mismo modo que los huesos humanos se robustecen cuando están sometidos al estrés y a la tensión. Lo “antifrágil” necesita el desorden para sobrevivir y florecer.
Taleb se centra en la incertidumbre como algo deseable, incluso necesario, y propone que las cosas se construyan de una forma antifrágil. Lo antifrágil es inmune a los errores de predicción.
Sumamente ambicioso y multidisciplinario, nos ofrece un programa sobre cómo comportarnos –y prosperar- en un mundo que no comprendemos, y que es demasiado incierto como para que intentemos comprenderlo y predecirlo. El mensaje de Taleb, documentado e ingenioso, es revolucionario: Lo que no es antifrágil perecerá con toda seguridad.

Few books have made me think more than this one over the last decade. A meandering philosophical treatise that explores how all types of systems — your body, nature, the economy, your company — get stronger or weaker with stress. Some don’t like Taleb’s writing style, but his ideas are compelling. – fuenteThis is his collection of ancient wisdom. He is also famous for The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, and Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and Markets, all of which are worth reading. – fuente

A review of Nassim Taleb's new brilliant book: Randomness, probability and uncertainty: Stress best, The Economist – fuente2013-05-15T00:00:00.000Z
Bold perspectives, unusual ideas, and surprisingly wise advice around an interesting subject of the “opposite of fragile.” Looking through that lens at health, education, governments, business, and life philosophy. Very inspiring, and sparks a lot of further discussion. – fuente2021-08-20T05:22:46.000Z

When I read this book in 2015, it opened up a whole new dimension of the world that was unknown to me.
How there are things that GAIN from disorder. – fuente2015-09-15T00:00:00.000Z
On my podcast Nassim discusses “Antifragility” – building a system, even on that works for you on a personal level, where you if you harm your self in some way it becomes stronger. That podcast changed my life. He discusses Antifragility throughout history, up to our current economic situation, and even in our personal situations. – fuente2019-04-11T17:55:11.000Z
9/ Antifragile. @nntaleb smashes many assumptions widely accepted by intellectuals and experts. He shows that what matters is not being “right” but making sure you survive and are positioned to gain in a world we cannot predict and largely do not understand. – fuente2023-02-07T03:25:32.000Z
Antifragile by @nntaleb is, I thought when I read it & I think even more now, a book that anyone concerned with complexity, robustness, extreme events & thus with globalization, supply chains, epidemics, invasions and balloons should read. – fuenteThe general concept is applicable to many fields beyond biology, for instance finance, economics and monetary policy. – fuente
