Antifragile: How to live in a world we don't understand by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
I realized that my bad relationships are mostly the result of my lack of skin in the game. That indifference is not an advantage but that it is paralyzing.
That I have to feel to be able to risk and do something.
In addition to applying the concept of antifragility to many external things.
It has motivated me to start a business and to connect more with my loved ones, changed my perspective on research, what's important and the power of the passing of time. It definitely impacted my life.
- david927 8y agoNassim Taleb, not Massimo
- superpermutat0r 8y agoYeah, autocorrect.
- rassibassi 8y ago> changed my perspective on research could you elaborate on that? pro research or against?
- SkyMarshal 8y agoProbably that science via statistics is problematic and not as reliable as believed.
- akeck 8y agoOn Amazon, the official version seems to be called, "Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder (Incerto)"
- dwd 8y agoI personally found Fooled by Randomness influential - and his later works very much build on the ideas he began with that book.
- shriphani 8y agoIt is a brilliant series - total game changer for me. Lots of ideas I (and others) could not express in concrete terms, he did.
- jjcc 8y agoNassim is really a great thinker. His latest book "Skin in the game" probably is underestimated by the public. It's relevant to quite a lot of current events happening that have a huge impact on modern society.
- jackconnor 8y agoThis book was incredible, I did not know this powerful concept of "systems that get stronger through use" existed before reading this book.
