Antifragile Summary of Key Points

Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder is a philosophical treatise by Nassim Nicholas Taleb about how some systems, including nature and economies, actually benefit from shock, volatility, and chaos. Instead of being merely robust or resilient (resisting shocks), these antifragile systems improve and grow stronger. Taleb explains this concept using examples and anecdotes from various fields, including biology, medicine, finance, and politics.
