You will also discover: that anti-fragility systems are part of your daily life; that to be anti-fragile, a system must generate more gains than losses; that shocks and fragility are sometimes good things; that if you focus too much on the causes of an event you will miss the real solutions; that you have to free yourself from theories and academic knowledge; that you need to respect others and the lessons of the past to become anti-fragile.
