[ Antifragile ]

The book Antifragile, by Nassim Taleb, is a hard slog to read.  It’s not terribly accessibly writing, which is a shame, because the concept of being antifragile is excellent.

The opposite of fragile (breakable) is not robust, but rather the uncommon word antifragile. 

Robust and resilient mean getting back up after a knock, or withstanding hardships with fervour.  This is important, but being antifragile is even better.

Antifragile is taking on the hardships and getting a little better from them.  Like purposely taking a boat into a storm to test it, and yourself.  Going to the gym.  Doing hard things.
