Antifragility refers to the ability of a system to not only withstand stressors but also to benefit from them. [In other words, antifragile systems become stronger when exposed to stressors](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/digital-altruism/202003/the-antifragile-mindset) Taleb explains: > “Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond [resilience](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/resilience "Psychology Today looks at resilience") or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.” [[Recovery MOC]] [[202210121946 Recovery is more than symptoms reduction]] What happened at the Design Workshop ([[AAR for Workshop]]) is an opportunity for Antifragility, for growth, to be better.
