Personal antifragility is the mindset and ability to benefit from whatever happens to you (especially if negative events).

If you cultivate this mindset, almost nothing can stop you from doing what you want. You thrive on obstacles and adversity. You also do not need to predict and worry since you trust nature in giving you what you deserve.

To instill this mindset, here are the 9 principles to adopt:

1. Always look for challenge, growth, and pain

You want to be like the hydra that grows stronger (a new head) for every challenge. Therefore, the ideal state is not a comforting paradise, but an environment where you get stronger. You should always feel a little bit confused.

2. When in doubt, remove. Don’t add

By removing what is no longer serving you, whether material belongings, beliefs, identities, and habits, you get the benefits without potential side effects. To be personally antifragile, you want to constantly get rid of what is fragile in you, i e what does not like chaos.

3. Be both extremely safe and risky (The Barbell Strategy)
