Summary

 Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s famous investigations of “optimal experience” have revealed that what makes an experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow. During flow, people typically experience deep enjoyment, creativity, and a total involvement with life. In this new edition of his groundbreaking classic work, Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates the ways this positive state can be controlled, not just left to chance. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience teaches how, by ordering the information that enters our consciousness, we can discover true happiness and greatly improve the quality of our lives.

“Explore[s] a happy state of mind called flow, the feeling of complete engagement in a creative or playful activity.”—Time©1990 Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (P)2024 Recorded Books Education Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Time Management Thought-Provoking

Unlike many self-help / self development books, this one has some merit. It's not my favourite genre by any stretch of imagination, but it helped to give structure to some ideas. Plus, it's useful to know that there is some control we can exercise over what we are doing, i.e. in how we approach things.

Stopped listening after about 2 hours- weak and uninspired. Historical inaccuracies and a lack of understanding regarding that which lies outside Europe.
