Join us for a discussion with Nassim Nicholas Taleb, best-selling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, on his new book Antifragile: Things That Gain From Disorder. In The Black Swan, Taleb outlined a problem; and in Antifragile, he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos, while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. What Taleb calls the “antifragile” is actually beyond the robust, because it benefits from shocks, uncertainty, and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. The antifragile needs disorder in order to survive and flourish.
