Publisher's Summary
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.

Incredible tips & enjoyable music between chapters
Totally loved this book & listen again. Author’s voice is soothing. Uses examples of many other people yet still brings some of his personal life into it.

A great breakdown of a really important subject
I really enjoyed this book and there was some great practical advice to follow. I thought towards the end that it ran out of steam and did repeat a few phrases. overall a good read.

The scientific explanation of happiness
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi puts in words how to achieve enjoyment and happiness in everything we do in your life, placing in our hands the control of our destiny or, at least, how we can face it in a bearable way. Even more, how can we change it by changing out attitudes towards everything we do.

Thoroughly enjoyed this
A book I will possibly return to a few more times. The concept itself is fascinating but what brings it to life or makes it more relatable are the examples and stories that are used throughout.

Amazing work! A pleasure to listen to this classic
Having first discovered this author some ten years ago it was amazing to listen to him present his book. Reading the hard copy was nothing like listening to the author bring his 30 years of research to life! What an amazing voice he has - so very easy to listen. Loved the experience of this work in Audible.

Great content
Spoken as if from memory and the book was used only as a reference to the topics which leads to a more casual, conversational, and enjoyable tone.
Professor Csikszentmihalyi narrates this audiobook which adds to the value of the messages. His accent can be difficult for certain words but it should not discourage you from listening.
