This book has dramatically changed my life. Taleb has laid out a way of looking at the world and investing financially and in yourself that is transformative. The concepts of antifragility, optionality, and the barbell are simple on the surface, but Taleb gives them great color and depth that give you much deeper understanding that a few words in a glossary could ever provide. This book is a beast and my only complaint is how dense and difficult some sections were. Be prepared to re-read sections to really understand it.
