4180: How to Prepare For Chaos by Cylon George on Emotional Resilience

Cylon George argues that order is a thin surface over a world that regularly breaks into chaos, and that pretending otherwise leaves a person unprepared. He offers two forms of preparation: deciding in advance to wait before making major decisions after a shock, and practicing on the low-level chaos of daily life. He closes by arguing that befriending chaos rather than avoiding it is what keeps it from taking away one's peace.
