The fragile, non-resilient approach to change
The problem when we try to change make changes in our lives:
- We set out to do something regularly (for example, exercise, meditate or write something)
- We fail at it
- We might beat ourselves up, get discouraged, and give up.

The idea of anti-fragility
It comes from Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s book Black Swan. The main idea is that many human-made systems are fragile. Something comes to stress the system, and it falls apart. Some systems are robust or resilient, which is much better than fragile.
Even better is the idea of being anti-fragile: stress makes the system stronger.
