In flow, everyday experience becomes a moment by moment opportunity for joy and self-fulfillment. Flow is the brain-child of a fascinating psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a renowned social scientist who has devoted his life's work to the study of what makes people truly happy, satisfied and fulfilled. While much of the study of psychology investigates disorders of the human mind, Dr. Csikszentmihalyi takes a different route. He focuses on the noble side of human nature, our capacity for living a life of integrity, courage, and perseverance. With his landmark research on flow, he reveals what he considers beautiful in life, ways of being and behaving that make people happy, satisfied and delighted to be alive. His insights into the "flow experience" show ways to lessen stress, fear and anxiety while increasing feelings of challenge, joy and excitement. The revolutionary findings of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Experience Sampling Method offer unprecedented information about the specific ways we can turn life into a continuous high quality experience. You'll discover how anyone can enrich his or her quality of life simply by learning how flow occurs and what it feels like. You'll learn about the key elements of the flow experience including:

why it is important to know what you want to do in any given moment
specific activities you can do that produce flow easily and naturally
how to improve your experience of work so you feel in control and rewarded by it
keys to harnessing the power of concentration
the difference between pleasure and enjoyment (only one leads to personal growth)
how to match challenges with skills to avoid boredom and frustration and maximize enjoyment

Once you experience the exhilaration of the "flow" state of being, you'll want to return again and again.

A valid concept, but quite a bit of conceptual repetition / examples.

Not the unabridged audio book it claims to be.

This is NOT an unabridged audio edition of the book of the same name. It's some kind of digest, with excerpts read in various voices.

I love this book.

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018

I got this on Audible and really love it. I am a big believer in flow and it's importance on a persons well being. The author no only touches on many areas of flow but also how they impact many facets of an individuals life. I really enjoyed the way he narrates the book as well. It feels as though he is having a casual conversation with you. Very relaxed and insightful. This is a great book to read for your self but also a great book to read if you have children. It is important to find opportunities for them to experience their own flow so they know how to create it when they are older. Great book.

GREAT BOOK! REALLY!

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2020

An absolutely excellent book. I learned how to create happiness from the inside out, as I went into retirement. I spent my adult life acquiring wealth to discover that I hadn't learned what to do with myself once there mission was accomplished!
