Flow

Author: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

In “Flow,” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi explores the elusive state of optimal experience. Drawing from decades of research, he unravels the secret to happiness and fulfillment. I found myself nodding along as he described those rare moments when time seems to stand still, and you’re completely absorbed in a task. His insights on how to cultivate these experiences in everyday life are both practical and inspiring. A must-read for anyone seeking to unlock their full potential and find joy in the present moment.

The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times... The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.
