LONDON NOV 26. When someone asked me who I want to interview me

LONDON NOV 26. When someone asked me who I want to interview me, my answer was “a fireman”. Reason: they understand risk, incompleteness, and decision. Alternatively, someone who takes risk and has scars from it. Well, it turned out that my first reviewer was a pro-athlete obsessed with randomness. I invited him to interview me and was lucky that he accepted.

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.

That’s a tight schedule. He’s back in NY for an event on the 27th!

Join 5×15 and Penguin Books for an unmissable event in Islington’s Union Chapel on Monday 26 November when they welcome one of the world’s most eminent thinkers to the stage. In conversation with journalist Bryan Appleyard, Taleb will explain in his typically irreverent, ambitious and iconoclastic style how we can succeed in a chaotic world and benefit from disorder and disaster. His message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.

Guardian Extra members can win one of five pairs of tickets to the event. The competition will close at midnight on Sunday 18 November 2012.
