Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder

Intro

The book is an insightful deep dive into the concept, which Mr Taleb calls antifragility - a property of the systems to get better as a result of shocks. In his definition resilience is just about ability to stay the same after the shock. My definition of resilience is closer to that of antifragility so you can consider this book as an another source of general insights into the broad area of resilience.

The ideas presented in the book are important, I am not however that impressed with the style, which is very arrogant and offensive - you will read about many people who are suckers, stupid or fragilistas (creative variation of very stupid) but I recommend to swallow and read to learn fresh, provocative, insightful ideas.
