Time for a new book review.

I’ve been reading a lot of classics of late. Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and even some Anita Brookner books but I decided that I needed to get back to Taleb’s Incerto series and continue reading the books there. (I have two more to go).

I picked out Anti-Fragile, the Things that Gain from Disorder in an effort to understand this changing world. I’d be lying if I said that I understand what is happening in this world. Lately, it seems that everyone and everything are going off the rails. Cost of living crises, kids stealing food from lunchboxes, crime on the rise, murders, road rage, racism, and to top it all off, people worrying whether to stay with Twitter (Musk) or go to Threads (Zuckerberg). Who is the lesser evil?!

Nevertheless, how do you gain – or become stronger – in a world of black swan events?

Here’s my review of this excellent book.
