Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to problems of uncertainty, probability, and knowledge. He spent two decades as a trader before becoming a philosophical essayist and academic researcher. Although he now spends most of his time either working in intense seclusion in his study, or as a flâneur meditating in cafés across the planet, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's Polytechnic Institute. His main subject matter is "decision making under opacity", that is, a map and a protocol on how we should live in a world we don't understand.
His works are grouped under the general title Incerto (latin for uncertainty), composed of a trilogy accessible in any order (Antifragile, The Black Swan, and Fooled by Randomness) plus two addenda: a book of philosophical aphorisms (The Bed of Procrustes) and a freely available Technical Companion. Taleb's books have been published in thirty-three languages.
Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.

文/明道副总裁 许维 今天要写的这个话题比较形而上,读起来可能有一些枯燥,大家要做好心理准备。 最近一直在读《反脆弱》,这是一本让我不仅感慨“怎么只有370页呢?怎么就没有了呢?要是有1370页多好呀!”的书。 趁着清明小长假有时间,把我读这本书时领悟到的一些东西写...
评分这是我最近看到的最棒的书,用非常简单明了的理论说明了大规模灾难的根本原因,不是因为我们无法预测灾难的到来,而是因为我们没有建立足以有效应对随机波动的结构——事实上,以人类的认识水平,预测未来本身就是不可能的任务,在这方面的努力,只需漏掉一个线索,就难以阻止...
评分冬吴相对论特地做了上下期的节目来推荐这本书,这就让人很好奇这本书究竟讲了什么独道的见解,很想来读一读。 书中提出了一个全新的概念------“反脆弱性”。按照我最初的理解,所谓的反脆弱性,指的就是类似与免疫系统的东西。然而实际上,作者特别指出了所谓的“反脆弱”,...
评分《反脆弱》是一本很容易引起误读的书。《黑天鹅》、《随机致富的傻瓜》更正了大部分人的决定论的或者机械论的旧世界观,但实际上,二战前后,几乎没有一个西方学科不是采取概率论和统计学的世界观了,换言之,西方在二战后,有一个世界观和方法论的革命,只是由于特殊的原因,...

From the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a book on how to benefit from disorder.
In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem, and his revelatory new book Antifragile offers a definitive solution: how to live in a world that is unpredicatable, chaotic, and full of shocks, and how to thrive during periods of disaster. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. For what Taleb calls the 'antifragile' is beyond the merely robust; it benefits from shocks, uncertainty and stressors. Antifragile is about what to do when we don't understand. It is a new word because it is a new concept.
Many of the greatest breakthroughs in human endeavour come from the innovation by trial and error that is part of antifragility. And some of the best systems we know of, including natural selection and evolution, have antifragility at their heart. How did the disaster of the sinking of the Titanic bring us closer to safety? Why does the stress on bones make us stronger? Why should you write a resignation letter on your first day in the office? Why should we detest the lack of accountability at the heart of capitalism?
The most successful of us, the most daring and creative will take advantage of disorder and invent new, more powerful opportunities and advantages beyond our expectations.
Irreverent and ambitious, Antifragile provides a blueprint for how to live-and thrive-in a world we don't understand, and which is too uncertain for us to even try to predict. Taleb's message is revolutionary: what is not antifragile will surely perish.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a radical and paradoxical philosopher for our times.He has spent his life immersing himself in problems of luck, uncertainty, probability, and knowledge, and he has led three high-profile careers around his ideas, as a man of letters, as a businessman-trader, and as a university professor and researcher. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's Polytechnic Institute.His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in thirty-three languages.Taleb refuses all awards and honours as they debase knowledge by turning it into competitive sports.
