Antifragile

If we think of the opposite of fragility, strength or hardness comes to mind.

In reality, however, even if we imagine a super-hard material, there is a good chance that we can find a harder one, use a weak point or leverage, to destroy or permanently damage it.

Now imagine a material that every time you try to damage or destroy it, it becomes stronger than before. Such a feature is Antifragility (eng. Knowledge/Books/Antifragile)

[Antifragility]] is a powerful concept in the context of building systems, such as a company or our life system. I myself constantly think about this when building my own Foundations/Process. For this it is necessary to constantly Questioning, Making Mistakes and learning from them.

Similarly, his system is described by Knowledge/People/Ray Dalio, who bases its construction on the Principles described in the book Knowledge/Books/Principles.

In the case of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, I strongly recommend you still reach for the books Knowledge/Books/Black Box Thinking, Black Swan, Knowledge/Books/Fooled by Randomness and Knowledge/Books/Skin in the Game - each contain concepts that drastically improve thinking, with a focus on future events.
