Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

2012, Nassim Nicholas Taleb

4/5

Antifragility is a concept of systems developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in which they increase in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, volatility, noise, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures. An example of Antifragilaty would be the hydra from Greek mythology. If you cut off one head, two will take its place. Similarly, the concept of antifragile is that when you break it is grows back stronger than before.
