About this listen

Important Note: This is an audiobook summary of Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb - this is not the original audiobook.

Antifragile is a stand-alone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb's landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don't understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, and The Bed of Procrustes. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls "antifragile" is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.

This helped me realise just how antifragile I've become since dropping the ego after a nervous breakdown last year and following my intuition and heart, never being afraid of the unknown now and taking action with all tasks (zero procrastination and indecision is a result).
Will read full hardback book next 😁

Awesome Realisation

Thank goodness I didn't waste hours of my life on the unabridged book. The summary could've been sufficiently performed in 5 minutes.

Do we blame the publishers or the authors for thinking that anything under 300 pages is not viable for publication?

Repetition repetition repetition :(

Summary could've / should've been summarised.
