0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Kistio episode number 284.
0:08.3	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems,
0:15.2	and real coaching. And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brook Kistio.
0:22.1	Well, hello there my friends. Today we are talking about anti-fragility.
0:32.3	You've never heard of that, have you? Unless you've read the book, you've probably never heard
0:36.8	of this term. It is the opposite of fragile, anti-fragile. And when I first heard this concept,
0:47.6	I was so delighted by it. I feel like, oh my gosh, they are speaking my language. I love,
0:57.5	love, love this concept. So I wanted to share it with you. Now there's a whole book written on it.
1:02.4	And you can buy it on Amazon. And it gets into a lot more detail and kind of goes down rabbit holes

1:48.0	sometimes mistakenly refer to themselves as highly sensitive, as fragile, as tender. And I think
1:58.8	there's a way to do that with yourself that can be very compassionate. And especially when you've
2:04.9	recently gone through something that creates a lot of vulnerability for you in your mind, I think
2:09.6	treating yourself that way can be useful for a short amount of time. But when you label yourself
2:15.9	in a way that makes you overly sensitive to what an overly offended and overly hurt by everything
2:23.6	that happens in the world, I think it creates a really unhealthy way of being in the world where
2:28.7	you're constantly afraid not willing to take any risk. I want to introduce a concept that's
2:34.7	almost the complete opposite of that. And it's this idea of being anti-fragile.
