A thought-provoking examination of how elements can thrive, or gain, from disorder. The idea behind the work has natural linkages to the uncertainty encountered by militaries and through military operations; individuals and organisations can become sufficiently robust to benefit and thrive from volatility, rather than just be resilient to it. The author proposes that being ‘antifragile’ may be the most useful way to operate in a world of Black Swan events.
