So, the way that it is defined is a system that increases in capability to thrive as a result of stressors, shocks, mistakes, faults, attacks, or failures. It increases incapability the more that it fails, the more mistakes it makes, the more faults, attacks, or failures that it has.
And this concept brings us right back to an example that I use a lot of times, which is learning to walk, learning to ride a bike. The more you fail at that, the better you get at it. The more you fall down, the stronger you get. The more times you try, the better you get at walking.
Robust means that you can stand up to challenges that happen and mistakes that happen and failures that happen. You can, like, kind of go head to head with it. But anti-fragile means that you get stronger by those things. Not only do you stand up to them or withstand them, but they actually make you stronger.
A great example of this is working out in the gym. Your muscles are anti-fragile, which means the more stress you put on them, the more you break them down, the stronger they get. And another example of that that was used is like a vaccine, like if you get a vaccination, you put a little bit of a poison inside of you and then you develop, your immune system develops an immunity to that. You actually become stronger against that by the experience of it.
So when I talked about post-traumatic growth, one of the concepts that I introduced there is that a lot of people will go through a trauma and they will become stronger and actually better on the other side of it, not in spite of it, but because of it, because of the growth that was required to get over it and to handle it and to withstand it. They have now grown into a stronger version of themselves.
As we get stronger, we get better at utilizing problems. We get better at challenges the more we seek out the bigger goals, the bigger challenges, the stronger we get. Once that circle of momentum gets going, we lose our fear of the fear because we understand that the things that we are naturally afraid of are the challenges that will ultimately make us stronger.
So the experience of stepping onstage and sweating and not being able to speak is the thing that makes you stronger to go onto the next time. And the more times you do that, the more times you fail at it, the stronger you will get at it.
When I look at really successful people, I truly understand that they are standing on top of a pile of failures. Those failures are what created that success. When I look at a toddler who is walking around like a boss, I know that that toddler earned that ability to walk by failing miserably multiple times.
He could not have learned how to walk without the failures, without the challenges, without the things that he bumped into along the way. How is that you in your life? Are you acting fragile in your life?

ANNE HELEN PETERSON: I think there had been periods before but approximately the same amount. I think when I was writing Burnout book, I was just so full of information all the time that there was like no more space for anything else. But this fall I read Long Bright River by Liz Moore, which is a phenomenal book and doing a lot in terms of like working with genre, but also so skillfully done, really good character development, and incredible sense of place. That was like oh, okay, this is it. I was very immersed in it. I read it for many hours at a time, several times, and I thought oh, what I need is something that is irresistible.
ANNE HELEN PETERSON: It was wonderful and like there is no joy quite like going to a new zoo with a four and seven year old. [ANNE BOGEL LAUGHS] While I was there, I was able to, I think, jumpstart my reading habit again and went through three books last week.
ANNE HELEN PETERSON: Oh, man. I just think people are so interesting. Like everyone has such an interesting story and this is at the heart of a lot of reporting is just the idea that like oh, I could write a profile of like 75% of the people that I meet. [ANNE BOGEL LAUGHS] Like clearly interesting, like 8,000 word profile, you know, like [LAUGHS] and sometimes I think that my belief in that comes from my local newspaper from North Idaho, the Lewiston Morning Tribune. There was a feature in this paper. Every Friday a reporter would open up the phone book randomly and pick a name and then call that person up and then just write a story about them.
ANNE HELEN PETERSON: You know how there are like books that the romance in it is something that like speaks to you in a way like you just want to underline every sentence and send it to the person that you are attracted to?
I first read it when I was studying abroad in France in the early 2000s. I was incredibly lonely, so I read it in English and then I bought it in French so that I could like challenge myself, and I was living with a woman in her early 70s. Kinda the past parts are set around the time when she would have been the same age as one of the characters and she just loved it and it was one of the many things that we would talk about over dinner her correcting my bad French. [ANNE BOGEL LAUGHS] So I have very fond just like place memories of reading, which oftentimes I think are part of why we love the books that we love but then I also think that its intrisctincity and the way it reveals itself is very masterful.

Zeref shares the story of his childhood and how he came to be afflicted with his deadly Curse of Contradiction. Meanwhile, Lucy worries that the old Fairy Tail members have moved on and won't want to help restart the Fairy Tail guild, only to receive the exact opposite response from her comrades.
In the Mildian Magic Academy, a young Zeref stands before his three teachers as they read through his dissertation. Despite being amazed by his research, they warn Zeref that the subject is not for children, given as the manipulation of life and death through Magic is forbidden and would anger Ankhseram, the God of Life and Death, before forcing him to agree not to pursue the research much further. After thst, Zeref holds his paper close, stating that he only wanted to know why people live or die. Suddenly, Zeref wakes up in a field of grass, wondering if this recollection of his past has all had been a dream. Zeref sits by the water and thinks about his younger brother who died several years after he was born, and how he understand, thus prompting him to study life and death.
Back at the Magic Academy, Zeref continue his studies of life and death, and even goes further on to present his hypothesis to the public, who are all amazed by his magical framework which could, in function,bring the dead back to life. However, Zeref is once again scolded and reminded that reviving the dead is forbidden by his professor and also reproached for implementing human sacrificial carelessly. Moreover, he tells Zeref that life and death are a part of nature, and that therefore they must not be meddle with. Paying no much care for the warnings, Zeref continues on his research in his room, when the professor once again visits him when Zeref is working on his Eclipse project even after he was told to stop. As Zeref claims that it is almost perfected, the professor states that Zeref is creating all of this in order to go back in time and save his younger brother, before revealing that the board has decided to expel him. Devastated by the news, Zeref suddenly begins to glow, much to the horror of the professor. Just as the glow suddenly stops, the instructor collapses onto the floor. It is then shortly revealed that every student and teacher within the academy were dead. 781b155fdc
