Complexity Theory and Psychology

If you have an interest in areas where complexity theory is being explored to help solve problems and respond to change, you may want to check out psychologist, Dr. Dave Pincus, who writes about Batman, economic markets, and relationships with complex adaptive systems lenses on. An underlying idea that informs his posts involves answering the question, "How do we deal with life when it seems like the interacting elements are more like a plate of living spaghetti than a neatly ordered daytimer?" Being adaptive, resilient, participative, open, and hopeful makes a difference. In his October 1 post, Dr. Dave waxes eloquent on the role of confidence in economic markets and links it to the role that confidence has in our psychological health as individuals.
What do you think about the elements that are necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing environment, financial or otherwise?
