One of our sons recommended this book to me. I'm not sure why it was so difficult for me to read and why it took so long for me to get through, but I did appreciate many of Mr. Taleb's thoughts.
Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better (pg. 3).
Less is more and usually more effective (pg. 11).
If I could predict what my day would exactly look like, I would feel a little bit dead (pg. 63).
If you are not a washing machine or a cuckoo clock—in other words, if you are alive—something deep in your soul likes a certain measure of randomness and disorder. There is a titillating feeling associated with randomness (pg. 63).
