Dec. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Ahmedabad, India; December 06, 2012: Taleb has been titled the bestselling author of The Black Swan in which he spoke of how to benefit from disorders. This book spoke of problems but Antifragile talks of solutions of how to overcome uncertainties, shocks and face life filled disasters. According to him things are built in an antifragile manner thus it becomes desirable and very necessary to achieve it. Antifragile teaches us how to tackle problems and find solutions to problems we have never heard or faced before. He says it better to be dumb and antifragile than to be intelligent and fragile.

We come across maximum breakthroughs in our lives when we try to innovate something new and so some trials and make some errors. This is a part of antifragility. There are many things from which we learn to make changes and take precautions from the past events. The sinking Titanic made us more careful in making ships stronger and safer. Why stress on bones is important to make us stronger? Why should one write a resignation letter on their first day in the office? Why should we detest the lack of accountability at the heart of capitalism?

Those who are intelligent, smart and successful will be smart enough to learn from previous problems and take it to their advantage to create a master piece for the future and make things beyond imaginations. Antifragile is all about learning to live and strive hard in this world of new things and inventions that we never heard of before.
