Flow - The Psychology Optimal Experince - Steps Toward Enhancing The Quality Of Life Paperback – January 1, 1991

A fantastic book! It can be a little slow and difficult at times, but totally worth the time and financial investment. Great insights into having an optimal experience of life.

The version a saw is more recent that the one I received. I wanted and ordered the the one with the red covert and I got the white one. I am not pleased.

this was a gift for my wife.I ordered the same book twicewell she will get double the pleasure

A bit of old fashioned experience added into a MODERN RETIREMENT.

Within the positive psychology literature, almost everyone mentions with great praise this author and his work on "flow"; as such I purchased the audiobook version and was anticipating some great insights. Unfortunately, this has got to be one of the biggest "busts" out there within the positive psychology / self-help genre. First of all, it's just plain boring; just boring. Most importantly, the author doesn't provide any intersting / new data... which may be valid in that success, mental well being is likely (is) based more on common sense principles than some unknown mysterious force. Nonetheless, if that's the case, why do we need a PhD to tell us that? Furthermore, the science or the presentation supporting the authors tenents seem to be very weak; as far as I can tell, all of the author's primary "tools" to be in flow were dervied from... interviews, yes the fairly unscientific method of interviews to support his groundbreaking insights on "flow". The last huge problem is, the author (as is the case with many authors) does not give an "actionable" methodology of how to exactly implement the concepts of "flow" into one's everyday life. Sure, one can understand how a pro athlete is in flow by being completely focused on the task at hand etc... etc... but how does one be in flow when ... doing the laundry???

A classic. What can I say. If you're short on time, go to page 74.

It's a horrible and very boring book, not at all what I expected!!

good
