The day the diagnosis came, I did not go under. I danced in the rain.
Not out of bravado, and not because I am built differently. Because I had spent years assembling something that held when the ground gave way. That something is in this book.
Most of our dead ends do not come from a lack of effort. They come from misdiagnosing the level. We hammer away at one lever when a whole dimension is drifting. We change course when the foundation is collapsing. We improve the foundation without ever daring to set a direction.
You will also find the eight mechanisms that decide for you before you decide: limiting beliefs, self-efficacy, learned helplessness, the self-fulfilling prophecy, attribution, expectancy-value, neuroplasticity, the Pygmalion effect. Name them and they lose their grip.
Antifragility is not holding out. It is getting better with every shock.
HIV is where this began. It is not what the book is about.
