Review of 'Antifragile' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
In Antifragile, Nassim Taleb discusses the other side of fragile.
It's an interesting look at why some things are the way they are and why they will probably stay that way and why it may not be in your best interest to try to change them. It's also a guide on how you can apply these principles in your career, your health, or with you money.
Mr Taleb has a very quirky writing style that's usually funny, but sometimes a bit overly negative towards some of his peers. I felt that he was making some of the same errors that he accuses others of. Namely scientifically presenting anecdotal evidence. It didn't take away my enjoyment of the book.
This book has a number of lessons that are worth remembering.
