Flow: Psychology, Creativity, & Optimal Experience
Excellent. A clear and captivating presentations of Csikszentmihalyi's theory of FLOW. Highly recommended.
-- Ed Diener, Ph.D. Department of Psychology, University of Illinois
For more than 30 years, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced CHICK-sent-me-high-ee) has studied states of "optimal experience"--those times when we report feelings of deep concetration and fulfillment--when we transcend our ordinary consciousness, and become so completely involved that we lose our senses of time and self. In this state, we are at the peak of our abilities. In this state, we are in Flow.
Csikszenthmihalyi's theory of Flow and his seminal work on creativity have revolutionized modern psychology, the social sciences, and even corporate management.
