bertheymans 's review for:
Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I'm giving this book 5 stars because it caused a fundamental change in the way I think. It's a really cool philosophy book actually. There are a lot of gems in here on health, nature, science, investing and ethics. I'll surely go back to it.
My key take-away is best summarised in a quote from the book: "Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better."
This was not an easy book to read though. The author is quite the intellectual with a very deep knowledge of history and math. I had to look up stuff to understand what's in the book. Be warned and enjoy!
