- Coming through a serious setback and functioning well afterwards → Resilience
- Committing to your analysis plan before seeing the data → Preregistration

Effortless absorption is flow, bouncing back from adversity is resilience, pre-committing to an analysis is preregistration, and classics failing to reproduce is the replication crisis. Each description maps to one contemporary concept.
