[@luisborges2048]

After watching only a couple of your vids I had to subscribe. It is different from thousands of other similar channels mainly because of the selection of books you have picked and the way you break it down (you really understand the main concepts). Simple yet effective. I am currently reading this book so this is why I found this video. You really shed some light on the concepts and applications of antifragility which will make my reading a lot easier and efficient. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks for the summary of this book, i couldn't understand watching many other videos on this book.

[@CalicoCooperFan]

I could have used this book a few years ago. I moved states away from my family and friends to support my wife's career. She had an affair, divorced me, and took the kids away from me half of the time. I had no family or friends nearby for support. My dad became terminally ill states away while I was going through the divorce. I tried to go back to see him and help out as much as I could. He died. With all of this going on, I couldn't focus at work and my performance declined. I lost my job. I had no resiliency at the time. Going through stuff like that can toughen you up. I've thrived during this pandemic. I believe going through what I did a few years ago strengthened me for what we experienced this past year.

[@Nowhere888]

The concepts in this book go against what is taught from positive psychology and Cognitive Behavior Therapy because negative thoughts of loss have 4 times the psychological effect of the positive thought of an upside gain. You need to minimize the negative thought of loss by using math like multiplying the probability against the loss amount to be rational about economic decisions. Eustress does not help and actually can lead to breakdown or burnout if you add stress like lifting weights when your body is already over exerted according to Dr. Heidi Hanna where you don't have any rest and recovery. Overcompensating can likewise lead to burnout if you are already putting in a maximum amount of effort. (You may need a better strategy or cut out other drains to give more time to overcompensating.) Taleb is a talented risk engineer but this does not work for most people and the way their minds work. Stick to "Resilience" by authors like Donald Robertson which is much more accepted and studied by the psychological community.

[@rhodigian]

Antifragility has its own domain. There are (and talev is clear) areas in which you can be antifragile, and areas where you cannot. There are areas where you can be fragile,but your population, thanks to your fragility, can be antifragile. Taleb does a philosophy work here, more than an engineering one.

[@Nowhere888]

@@rhodigian Thanks for the additional insights. The specific context of investing seems to be the domain where antifragility is appropriate. For people dealing with trauma, this "philosophy" could cause serious harm to the mental health of people under severe stress. Given the stress of the current pandemic, I think Taleb's work could do more harm than good for most people under these circumstances and a warning label was appropriate for the public good. That is my only purpose of my comment.

[@rhodigian]

@@Nowhere888 i dare to dissent. In an antifragile system, it is tolerated that people and enterprises die. You accept some damage, because it is part of the game. You cannot be resilient to everything, but you can take a hit, and grow stronger, or perish allowing your system to grow stronger. (unless the hit kills all humanity)

[@Emilio543]

Got about halfway through the video when I too started questioning these principles. Appreciate your summary - very much agree that Taleb's principles in this book are shaky at best.

[@OptimizeNurse]

@@Nowhere888 A quick thought on your comment. I think they align quite well with both positive psychology and CBT. Both of which equip you with tools that help you overcome (not be a slave to) mental or emotional challenges. Which occur as a result of an introduction of unexpected choas, volatility, randomness, uncertainty ect. Its the intelligent use of these mental tools, that makes you Antifragile to the challenges you face. They allow you to donesticate your emotions, remove your dependence on the situation and when used well, they present you with options. Being Antifragile is all about optionallity. Its about positioning ourselves in a place of being the creator of the options, where you have more to gain than to lose and then having the agency to choose (or not) the best option. The more you use the tools the better you get at facing and overcoming unexpected challenges. Therefore each challenge presents its self as an opportunity for continued mastery, making you as the title and subtitle suggest "Antifragile...Things That Gain from Disorder" These are the openings sentences of awesome book "Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire. Likewise with randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them. You want to be the fire and wish for the wind. This summarizes this author’s nonmeek attitude to randomness and uncertainty." Here is you us bekngthe fire and wishing for the wind! Would love your hear your thoughts as I am trying to grow and obtain a better understanding of the idea. Thanks

I like Practice # 2 and 3 however still a bit skeptical about #1. It is good to be prepared for uncertainties but thinking about them everyday might end-up making you a negative/ pessimistic person. i love the summary though. Thanks.

[@Gigusx]

Memento Mori is a very common practice in Stoic philosophy, you should look into it. There are benefits to constantly reminding yourself of your mortality.

[@Lance54689]

His step #1 is the same as the Stoic practice of Premeditatio Malorum. I've found it actually does work, and works well. It is not that I dwell on negative things, but more prepare for what could happen, and it actually causes a lifting in my mood. It is more like "Ok world, bring it on!". I get a flat tire on my way to work? Bring it on! I slip and break my ankle? Bring it on! The point is that outside things are going to happen, but only I can control how I react and feel about them. This is not "I'm a failure, I always fail, nothing ever goes right for me, why even get up if my day is going to be terrible?"

[@ChantalSouaid]

I totally agree, while I respect and like the stoic idea mentioned in #1, I can only get myself to do it when doing risk management and planning, yet never for my days!

Surely integration of these lessons is important. The examples from overcompensate are odd. What is the downside from a few typos that require such a response? How is playing a game ever "critical".

[@rmt3589]

Seems like it could be useful, but it's not for me. I already have such severe anxiety, fear of losing everything, and lack of confidence that I don't need any help with. My mind will race, replaying the worse scenarios it can think of on loop. I've been working on overcoming this, and don't need to feed it. I also fundamentally disagree, and find positivity leads to confidence and action, and confident action leads to results and commitment, and committing to a result leads to success. If thinking of the worse case scenario helped, I'd be rich right now. Instead, I freeze up until I can get my mind off it. So bad I can't sleep without overly-distracting myself with positive story writing, because the anxiety of not being able to sleep, dying in my sleep, etc. will keep me up all night. I'm sure this can help some people. And this is the first video of yours I didn't like. (I still hit the like button) I hope whoever needs this gets it, and that it will be as lifechanging as many of your other videos are for me.

[@Nowhere888]

I concur with your opinion.

[@sociocyberneering]

So negative visualisation and eustress-agree (stoic ideas) Overcompensating doesn’t seem to work for stress as weight lifting does for a muscle. If you can handle “20 units” of stress and you take on 20 units... after some time you might feel you can handle 25... and most people do. Then you have all the ‘lovely’ side effects of chronic stress related diseases. The last advise should be - know how many “units of stress” you can handle and take on less, no matter how ready you feel to take on more. So when a gust of wind does come, it pushes you up the bell curve of arousal- to your optimal arousal level, not overboard.

[@alexanderinsubordinate1861]

The problem with this video if yu have replaced mental stress, for example stress at work or in finance with physical stress and talk about interval training. The author of the book is not saying exercise stress will help you handle mental stress, they are saying small amounts of mental stress relating to your work / career, aka eustress will make you more resilient to stress. Talk about exercise her is a mistake. Everyone knows that physical exercise is good for handling stress levels, but this is not a book about physical exercise. The author is suggesting taking on mental stress relating to your work.

[@trez6465]

I ACTUALLY read the Antifragile, and I think this video missed the point. It's not about some self-resiliency or motivational or self-development stuff. it's more about the strategy and the setup to get imbalance gain and loss. I feel like this video totally missed the point and try to steer towards self-development.

I have no idea what OP is on about because Nassim was talking mainly about systems not people. It is not a self help concept, rather a way for people who build political, financial and economic systems to think. A system that gains and learns from shocks (example a free market) is suited for human flourishing compared to one that does not.
