Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder
by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
This was a freaking awesome book.
Imagine a very logical, very opinionated person, who writes a book to share their view across a large variety of topics. I don’t agree with all the opinions of the author, and some of them I think are heavily biased toward the author’s personal experience being generalized without taking into account that everyone is different. But even when I disagreed, I still loved reading the book.
Oh, right, the main topic is antifragility, meaning becoming better under chaos (as opposed to something fragile breaking under the same circumstances). That applies to personal life, professional life, financial markets, and more.
But really, the book is about much more than antifragility. If you read one book of this author, this is the one I recommend.
