Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder

I'd taken this from the library and returned it unfinished. The author spends too much time taking cheap shots at imaginary adversaries and not enough time making points. Maybe he should have listened to some of the editors that he turns his guns against. The overall concept seems valid, but I lost interest when Taleb leveraged an idea of Signal to Noise Ratio that is quite incorrect. That was the final straw.

Absolutely thought provoking book, with many interesting historical wisdom to explain the absurdity of modern world. N.N.Taleb goes a step further and introduce a revolutionary philosophical idea of "antifragility" and makes it a point to demonstrate such philosophy across all aspects of life in 450 pages. The voice is quite personal, and it is very easy to miss the point of the book if one reads it with a politically adamant mindset. It is fine to disagree with the things he say. As a matter of fact, having your beliefs continuously challenged is also part of the "antifragile" effect N.N.Taleb speaks about at improving your logic and understanding.

In your face writing style, no apologies for it, challenging, i think will take another read to really appreciate it.....i read it agaon, even better.
