In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one's own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,910
In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and in Antifragile he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what Taleb calls the "antifragile" is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,313
A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Story5 out of 5 stars 6
Cosa pensarono gli europei quando, giunti in Australia, videro dei cigni neri dopo aver creduto per secoli, supportati dall'evidenza, che tutti i cigni fossero bianchi? Un singolo evento è sufficiente a invalidare un convincimento frutto di un'esperienza millenaria. Ci ripetono che il futuro è prevedibile e i rischi controllabili, ma la storia non striscia, salta. I cigni neri sono eventi rari, di grandissimo impatto e prevedibili solo a posteriori, come l'invenzione della ruota, l'11 settembre, il crollo di Wall Street e il successo di Google.

By the author of the modern classic The Black Swan, this collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses his major ideas in ways you least expect. The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology: the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs. It represents Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects.

Throughout history, a powerful force has hindered the growth of human welfare and happiness. It is more powerful than the Mafia or the military. It has global catastrophic effects and can be found anywhere from the world's most powerful boardrooms to your local bar. It is human stupidity. Carlo M. Cipolla, noted professor of economic history at the UC Berkeley, created this vitally important book in order to detect and neutralize its threat.

L’ossessione per gli obiettivi, invece di aiutarci a migliorare, rischia di diventare un’ulteriore fonte di stress, e perfino di farci fallire. Noi non siamo i nostri obiettivi: siamo la somma delle nostre abitudini. Per questo, secondo Clear, è proprio dalle piccole abitudini di ogni giorno che dobbiamo partire per dare alla nostra vita una nuova direzione.

Publisher's Summary
Questo audiolibro offre una nuova visione del mondo. La prospettiva che cambierà le nostre idee sulla società e ispirerà le nostre scelte quotidiane. Ci aiuterà a comprendere come il nostro corpo si protegge dalle malattie e le specie viventi si evolvono, come la libertà d'impresa crea prosperità e il genio si trasforma in innovazione. Ci farà scoprire che se viviamo più a lungo non è la medicina che dobbiamo ringraziare, che meno dati sono disponibili e più un'analisi sarà accurata, e che il naufragio del Titanic ha salvato molte più persone di quante ne abbia fatte annegare.
La chiave di tutto è l'antifragilità. Sappiamo che la nostra incapacità di comprendere a fondo i fenomeni umani e naturali ci espone al rischio degli eventi inaspettati. Ma l'incertezza non è solo una fonte di pericoli da cui difendersi: possiamo trarre vantaggio dalla volatilità e dal disordine, persino dagli errori, ed essere quindi antifragili. Il robusto sopporta gli shock e rimane uguale a se stesso, l'antifragile li desidera, e se ne nutre per crescere e migliorare.
Medicina, alimentazione, architettura, tecnologia, informazione, politica, economia, gestione dei risparmi: sono solo alcuni dei campi di applicazione pratica in cui Nassim Nicholas Taleb ci accompagna, con l'ironia e la verve polemica che lo hanno reso celebre. Nell'ottica dell'antifragilità, le città-stato funzionano meglio degli stati-nazione, la spontanea confusione dei suk è preferibile all'eleganza formale dei mercati regolati, le grandi corporation sono una minaccia per la società, tanto quanto i piccoli imprenditori ne rappresentano la forza. E per raggiungere un maggior benessere personale e collettivo non è necessario fare sempre di più: meno è meglio.
Attingendo da uno sconfinato repertorio di episodi storici, fenomeni biologici e naturali, curiose esperienze personali, unendo la logica matematica alla scettica saggezza degli antichi e allo spirito pratico dell'uomo della strada, Taleb è riuscito nel tentativo di creare una guida eclettica, scanzonata e iconoclasta per orientarsi in un mondo imprevedibile e dominato dal caos, il mondo del "Cigno nero".
