Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

In this episode of Books Deep Dive, we dive deep into the concept of "antifragility," a term coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Unlike fragile systems, which break under stress, antifragile systems actually grow stronger when exposed to volatility and challenges. We explore the power of chaos, how organisms, economies, and even our bodies can benefit from stressors, and why volatility is often misunderstood as something to avoid. From the evolutionary process to the global economy, we discuss how embracing uncertainty and building systems that thrive under pressure can lead to growth and innovation. Learn how you can apply the principles of antifragility to your own life and business for long-term success.
