“When a system is in turbulence, the turbulence is not just out there in the environment, but is a part of the organization or organism that you are looking at. ~ Kevin Kelly A couple of studies on depression caused me to think about organizations. One found that young adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder have hyper-connected brain networks, especially in the areas associated with rumination. In essence, their minds are turbulent. They run problems over and over and over again, never arriving at a solution. The other found that depression is alleviated by feeling like part of a group. Not just socializing with people, but strongly identifying with them.
