THE BESTSELLING CLASSIC ON 'FLOW' – THE KEY TO UNLOCKING MEANING, CREATIVITY, PEAK PERFORMANCE, AND TRUE HAPPINESS
Legendary 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 ('the leading researcher into ‘flow states’' —Newsweek) 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, unlock our potential, and greatly improve the quality of our lives.
'Explores a happy state of mind called flow, the feeling of complete engagement in a creative or playful activity.' —Time

Great book

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Pronounce

I read this book in Graduate School and just had to get this book as an audiobook. It's a great reminder of capturing those precious moments of when we are totally immersed in the present moment.

Great ideas, poor writing

While the concepts in this book are sound, the writing in this book is extremely poor. Pedantic allusions and judgmental ramblings abound. The core concept of the 'flow' state, which should be stated at the outset, is not introduced until several chapters in; most chapters that follow are redundant and verbose rehashings of this concept. The author's obsession with subjective happiness overshadows the implications of 'flow' for education and professional-level skill development and performance. Cachet bold font free. For a book that has been hailed as so revolutionary, it was quite a disappointing read.
