Summary

Questo audiolibro offre una nuova visione del mondo. La prospettiva che cambierà le nostre idee sulla società e ispirerà le nostre scelte quotidiane. Ci aiuterà a comprendere come il nostro corpo si protegge dalle malattie e le specie viventi si evolvono, come la libertà d'impresa crea prosperità e il genio si trasforma in innovazione. Ci farà scoprire che se viviamo più a lungo non è la medicina che dobbiamo ringraziare, che meno dati sono disponibili e più un'analisi sarà accurata, e che il naufragio del Titanic ha salvato molte più persone di quante ne abbia fatte annegare.

La chiave di tutto è l'antifragilità. Sappiamo che la nostra incapacità di comprendere a fondo i fenomeni umani e naturali ci espone al rischio degli eventi inaspettati. Ma l'incertezza non è solo una fonte di pericoli da cui difendersi: possiamo trarre vantaggio dalla volatilità e dal disordine, persino dagli errori, ed essere quindi antifragili. Il robusto sopporta gli shock e rimane uguale a se stesso, l'antifragile li desidera, e se ne nutre per crescere e migliorare.

Medicina, alimentazione, architettura, tecnologia, informazione, politica, economia, gestione dei risparmi: sono solo alcuni dei campi di applicazione pratica in cui Nassim Nicholas Taleb ci accompagna, con l'ironia e la verve polemica che lo hanno reso celebre. Nell'ottica dell'antifragilità, le città-stato funzionano meglio degli stati-nazione, la spontanea confusione dei suk è preferibile all'eleganza formale dei mercati regolati, le grandi corporation sono una minaccia per la società, tanto quanto i piccoli imprenditori ne rappresentano la forza. E per raggiungere un maggior benessere personale e collettivo non è necessario fare sempre di più: meno è meglio.

Attingendo da uno sconfinato repertorio di episodi storici, fenomeni biologici e naturali, curiose esperienze personali, unendo la logica matematica alla scettica saggezza degli antichi e allo spirito pratico dell'uomo della strada, Taleb è riuscito nel tentativo di creare una guida eclettica, scanzonata e iconoclasta per orientarsi in un mondo imprevedibile e dominato dal caos, il mondo del "Cigno nero".

It was not shown that book is in Italian :(

the book is in Italian and yet it was never flagged when downloaded and no means of reviewing it immediately on the app. Be careful. allegedly there's no English version.if you are in UK due to some licens8gn agreement.

Great book

The book is great, I didn’t love the version in Italian though… and why there isn’t a version in English for the audible book? Record it Taleb, go on.

Metto 5 stelle per controbilanciare

Le recensioni negative sono dovute ad utenti non italiani che hanno acquistato questa versione per sbaglio, in realtà questo è un buon audiolibro.

No, no e no

Restituito dopo la prima mezz’ora di: i laureati e gli specialisti sono cattivi e la nonna è saggia.
Una supercazzola composta dalle solite parole pompose in PNL che rassicurano i mediocri che è il mondo a sbagliare e non loro a non aver mai sviluppato un senso critico.

Eddai, basta con ste fregnacce, costa anche un sacco di soldi, non se ne può più di questa tipologia di fuffari.

It is in Italian

This audiobook is an Italian translation, this was not clearly stated and it was too late before I realised when I tried listening to it.

I don't think there is an English version to download, disappointing.
