   What You Name Things Matters, how you treat people matters and why your   
   day is a dynamical system, how to avoid thing you don't want, and why   
   what looks like luck is really a navigational skill   
      
      
   There is a problem in physics that has haunted mathematicians since   
   Newton. Three masses in space, each pulling on the other two through   
   gravity. Unlike two bodies — which orbit each other in neat, predictable   
   ellipses — three bodies produce trajectories that are exquisitely   
   sensitive to the tiniest change in starting conditions. Henri Poincaré   
   proved in 1890 that there is no general solution. The system is   
   deterministic. It follows fixed laws. And it is, in any practical sense,   
   unpredictable.   
      
   You are a three-body problem.   
      
   Not metaphorically. Not loosely. Structurally. You are three masses in   
   mutual gravitational interaction, and the dynamics of your day — whether   
   it soars, spirals, or collapses — follow the same mathematics...
