Fortify Your Mind. Evolve Your Performance. Thrive Through Adversity. Be Antifragile.

“The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better.”

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder

The Antifragile Academy is on a mission to bridge the gap between antifragility theory and the psychology of human potential. We exist to help you and yours maximize potential by focusing on science-based components of antifragility.

What does it mean to be antifragile?

Antifragile people grow from adversity. They possess mental and physical tools that help them thrive in high-pressure environments, feel better, and perform optimally.

Individuals who received antifragility training show improvement in measures of resilience, well-being, and performance.
