Autonomy in Chaos (English Edition)

How to Be Real When Everything Seems Imaginary

Ronaldo Arrudas and TranslateAI

Don't expect comfort in these pages. Autonomy in Chaos: How to Be Real When Everything Seems Imaginary is a book written to provoke, unsettle, and invite lucidity amid the contemporary turmoil.

Here, autonomy is not confused with the illusion of self-sufficiency. It appears as the courage to sustain choices, bonds, and responsibilities in a world that celebrates appearance more than substance.

Through essays and metaphors, the text traverses themes such as society, market, psychology, politics, art, and education, weaving together philosophical references and everyday experiences. There are no ready-made formulas. There is, indeed, a journey: from the myth of absolute independence to the concrete practice of authentic presence.

This is a book for those who distrust easy answers but don't resign themselves to cynicism. For those who perceive that, even in chaos, it's still possible to create clarity. For those who accept that thinking is tiring, but believe that lucidity is still worth the effort.

This book is a translation into English of Autonomia no Caos which was originally written in Portuguese (Brazilian)

About the Book

We live immersed in a landscape of excess: information, opinions, expectations, illusions. Among ready-made discourses and fragmented realities, there grows a feeling that everything is a performance. But what about authenticity — where does it find its space?

This book is an invitation to have the courage to be whole when the world seems to be falling apart around us. Without easy formulas or disguised self-help, Autonomy in Chaos traverses society, market, psychology, and art to reveal how autonomy is not self-sufficiency, but active presence, agency, and responsibility.

With provocative and accessible writing, Ronaldo Arrudas combines philosophy, history, and vivid metaphors to illuminate a possible path: sustaining authentic gesture amid the noise, improvisation, and pressures of our time.

More than offering answers, this work opens questions — and invites the reader to face them head-on.

About the Authors

Ronaldo Arrudas

Ronaldo Arrudas é um polímata contemporâneo que atravessa, com notável fluidez, os territórios da Estratégia, da Arquitetura Empresarial, da Filosofia e da Comunicação — tudo isso sem jamais perder de vista seu papel mais sagrado: o de pai de Inácio e companheiro de Polyana.

Dono de uma mente sistêmica e analítica, Ronaldo enxerga a realidade como um teatro de improviso existencial, onde a autenticidade é a maior rebelião contra o roteiro invisível das expectativas sociais. Ele lidera iniciativas, constrói modelos conceituais como o FOAM (Fractal Organization Agile Model), e provoca transformações profundas sob a marca Provocative.one, que desafia líderes a pensarem além do óbvio. É movido por significância, e sua bússola ética se alinha mais ao porquê e ao o quê do que ao como.

Ronaldo é, antes de tudo, um estrategista com alma de filósofo, um arquiteto com sensibilidade de poeta, e um comunicador que transforma ideias complexas em experiências transformadoras. Se há uma constante em sua jornada, é a coragem de tensionar estruturas, como em uma obra de tensegridade: sustentando o equilíbrio dinâmico entre opostos para revelar a beleza estrutural da verdade.
