“The Nobel prize-winning chemist Ilya Prigogine calls physical systems that harness energy which otherwise would be dispersed and lost in random motion 'dissipative structures…'
"[T]he psyche… operates according to similar principles. The integrity of the self depends on the ability to take neutral or destructive events and turn them into positive ones.”
-Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
