'really made me think about how i think' - mohsin hamid, author of exit westtough times don't last. Tough people do. In the black swan, taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. Here taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better.
