   Things That Gain from Disorder

   

   The book argues that some systems, people, and institutions are not merely robust to volatility but actually improve when exposed to stress, randomness, and shocks. It contrasts fragile and resilient arrangements with those that benefit from disorder, explains how nonlinear, convex responses and optionality allow gains from uncertainty, and offers practical heuristics—favoring redundancy, small-scale tinkering and trial-and-error, barbell strategies, decentralization, and subtraction-oriented decisions—to design organizations and personal strategies that thrive on unpredictability while avoiding overoptimization, centralized planning, and hidden concentrations of risk.
