An investigation about luck–or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Through deep investigation and insight, Antifragile reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. With a rare combination of pointed wit and potent wisdom, Taleb plows through human illusions, contrasting the classical values of courage, elegance, and erudition against the modern diseases of nerdiness, philistinism, and phoniness. The Incerto Series is an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision making when we don’t understand the world. Makes the perfect gift for the perpetually curious.
