ANTIFRAGILE.
Now, so let's start with todays book.
Anti - Fragile By Nassim Taleb.
If i keep a box in front of you in which It's Written Fragile. Handle it with care and ask you what goods and stuff can be inside it, as you all know Fragile means something delicate, As per that , you will say that it must be glassware, any content related to glass or an electric item. Anything that can breakdown easily due to pressure. Which is true!. Now i keep a box in front of you in which it is written Anti - Fragile. Which means opposite of Fragile. And i ask you the possibilities of goods inside it,then what will be your answer ??
Most of the people say, anything which is very strong. Which will not break easily, even after putting lot of pressure anything related to steel or any iron object but answer is wrong. The opposite of Fragile goods will not be something which is very strong or it will not break easily. Inside, it will be the more you try to break it. The more you give pressure or stress on it, the more it becomes strong.
Anti - Fragile is something. Which is not affected by any kind of stressors, rather have benefits. Here Stressors are Pressure, Disorders, Error, stress, problems, Chose etc.. Which are the thing that grows instead of getting affected by these stressors. Then the answer for This Is You. The More precisely if i say then its Human Body.
For Example :- When a person go to Gym, What they do ? They give different types of stressors and pressure to their body. Due to which, after sometime their body become more strong, Similarly, there are many things which are Anti- Fragile.
Why This Knowledge ?
All Biological spices, Politics , Culture, Ideas, system etc. I am saying all this you because here Author says, If we Want to grow and develop ourselves, to get benefits and get to great success. Then its important have to stressors in our lives, because stressors will help us to become Anti- Fragile.Due to it is absence, we will become Fragile.This principle is also useful for others aspects of life and areas.
Hormesis:-
Hormesis is one of the medical procedure. In which patient is give small dose of Toxic Material. As a result f which, patient recovers and gets. immune.
Vaccination and Allergic medicine somehow works on these principles. For example :- The Film which gets banned, people watch those films much more , compare to others and banned films become more popular. There are many other things, which we feel are affecting us and others stuffs, But actually those things are beneficial.
Recovery Time Between Stressors :-
Now, we all understood that stressors is beneficiary for us, but to get advantage from it , there is need of an important condition, Which we call as Recovery.
If we do Gym as per our limit and relax our body after the workouts then the fibers and muscles break due to exercise will get replace by new and the stronger ones. But, if we do constantly exercise without relaxing and giving a recovery time then it will damage our body. For any stressors recovery time is very important.
Have Randomness in Life :-
Our biggest problem is, Now a days, we all are running behind the fragile things, Which we call a comfortable life, We are trying to make things as predictable as possible , means Everything just need to be the way we want, Now having such thinking is like asking for 12 months in year, to be like, neither to hot nor to cold. Thinking this way is little stupid because even if it happens, it will not benefit us.
We will bored our life. And will become Emotionally Fragile. Even in our lives there is a need to be little randomness, otherwise we will be like a fragile Robot.
Anti-Fragile Principle for Confidence :-
Anti Fragile principle is also applied for Confidence. True confidence will not come in you, when Everything what happens with you is positive or good but the true confidence will come, when most of the time bad and negative things happens to you, Still it doesn't affect you, i know, nobody's like Negative experience in their lives, but in reality those negative experience help us more to grow and get success.
If you apply this concept to your life, you will gain great success in a matter of a few short months. Simply start by looking at every situation a thing you can gain from. Author Nassim Taleb Did a great job to written this book, covering a multitude of topics and even including some humour.
