Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder Free Audiobook Download by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder is a work of nonfiction that examines the notion of antifragility, or the concept of things gaining from disorder or chaos. It discusses how we should prepare for the unexpected and take advantage of opportunities during uncertainty. The book contains some math and is written in such a way that makes it accessible to those unfamiliar with the subject.

This audiobook tells the story of Nassim Nicolas Taleb, a contrarian thinker who examines how things benefit from disorder. Things that are antifragile gain from disorder and random perturbations, and are therefore more likely to survive than those that are fragile. Antifragile is not the same as resilient--the latter is not damaged by changes in its environment--and it is not a synonym for durable. "Antifragility exists when an entity's response to stressors is greater than their level of vulnerability."

Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder is a book about what it means to be and stay healthy. The author, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, states that things are antifragile, meaning that they gain strength from disorder. If a company relies on an individual for success, then the company that is forced to adapt to the business of the individual will have an advantage over one who cannot.

In his book Antifragile, Nassim Nicholas Taleb has offered a fresh perspective on the risks and opportunities of life. "This is not a handbook for the prudent," he writes, "but rather for those willing to take risks and tolerate uncertainty." The author argues that it's important not to fear change or failure because both are the key that unlocks our potential.

It's close to impossible to create a character in fiction that is both likable and suffers no consequences. Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder is a myth-buster with its opening lines: "Antifragility is a property of systems which thrive in the face of uncertainty and volatility. This property makes them robust to randomness, shocks, disorder, and stressors." The book recounts Taleb's personal 'fragility' story and how he managed to escape it by embracing antifragility rather than fragility.
