I feel like Antifragile could have been handled really well (95% or more of the value of the book) in maybe 30-40 pages.
This. I liked it well enough, but would have preferred it at Kindle Single length. At it felt like the kind of book that was discussed so much that I didn’t get that much more out of actually reading it.
I tend to agree with you both on this point. I haven’t finished the book yet and he’s defined antifragile as something that has a small, defined downside and a large, undefined upside probably six times.
But hey, at least I can provide his definition, so his strategy seems to be working for me as a reader?
