Major Setbacks
This is about something every single person reading this has already experienced: getting knocked down by something you didn’t see coming, or something you saw coming and couldn’t stop.
We’re going to cover three interconnected ideas. First, antifragility — the science of why controlled difficulty actually makes you stronger, not weaker.
Second, resilience — what it really looks like in practice, and why the people who bounce back fastest aren’t superhuman; they’ve just built better psychological habits.
Third, grit — the sustained commitment to keep going through the unglamorous middle of anything worthwhile.
By the end, you won’t just understand these concepts — you’ll have a practical audit, a plan, and a personal commitment to take into your week.
