Lindy Book Club Incerto Series
In this session, we will look into Nassim Taleb's Incerto and discuss some of its key concepts, particularly the fascinating idea of the Lindy effect. Our long-term goal is to understand what constitutes a "Lindy book" and how to find and identify them.
Incerto: Antifragile
In Antifragile, Taleb takes us beyond resilience and robustness, introducing the concept of systems that gain from disorder. We’ll explore how this applies to everything from finance to personal growth, evolution, and decision-making in a world of uncertainty. Expect an engaging discussion on how to embrace randomness rather than fear it.

We’ll explore the surprising factors behind effective planning and execution, sharing insights on why some projects soar while others stumble. Perfect for anyone curious about turning big ideas into reality!
The Art of the Novel
