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

      Rather than a mere abridgment, this program is a spontaneous but well-organized talk by the author on the core ideas of his excellent book. Nicely aided by helpful introductions and classical music, the author's lucid thinking and flowing conversation make his points fly. Flow happens when you are fully present and engaged in what you are doing and timelessly committed to the activity. Applied to any type of art or work, it creates an efficiency and clarity of purpose that feel great and can also be applied to everyday activities like brushing teeth or walking to the mailbox. It can transform your waking life into something intentional and empowering. Everyone should enjoy this listening and learning opportunity. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
