What is Antifragility ? โข Antifragile refers to systems or things that benefit from disorder, volatility, and stress, becoming stronger rather than weaker over time. 2. Fragility vs. Antifragility โข Fragile things break under stress, while antifragile things grow. Understand the difference to better navigate risk in life and business. 3. The Triad of Things โข Things can be fragile, robust, or antifragile. Robust things are unaffected by stress, while antifragile things thrive because of it. 4. The Benefits of Volatility โข Embrace volatility and uncertainty. These forces push growth and innovation, helping systems adapt and evolve. 5. Via Negativa: What to Remove โข Sometimes, the best way to improve something is by removing what harms it. Focus on eliminating unnecessary elements rather than adding. 6. Antifragility in Nature โข Nature is inherently antifragile; it thrives through stress, shocks, and randomness. Learn from natural systems for better decision-making. 7. Skin in the Game โข People and systems must have โskin in the gameโ โ be personally invested in the outcomes โ to truly understand and manage risk. 8. The Barbell Strategy โข The barbell strategy is about balancing safety with high-risk, high-reward options, avoiding the middle ground. 9. Redundancy is Key โข Build redundancy into systems. Having backups and alternatives increases resilience and reduces fragility. 10. Antifragile Systems in Business โข In business, create flexible systems that adapt to change rather than rigid ones that collapse under pressure. 11. The Importance of Optionality โข Maximize options for future opportunities. The more choices available, the better you can respond to changing conditions. 12. Decentralization and Antifragility โข Decentralized systems are often more robust because they allow for local adaptation to stressors rather than top-down control. 13. Antifragility in Medicine โข The medical field should focus on prevention and resilience rather than simply reacting to disease and problems. 14. The Problem of Overintervention โข Overintervening in systems can create fragility. Sometimes doing less leads to better long-term outcomes. 15. Complexity and Antifragility โข Complex systems are more likely to be antifragile because they evolve through trial, error, and stress. 16. The Role of Luck โข Recognize the role of randomness and luck. While we cannot control luck, we can shape environments where it works in our favor. 17. The Need for Optionality in Personal Life โข Keep personal options open and flexible to increase resilience in the face of lifeโs uncertainties.
