Finding flow

The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life
Book • 1997
In this book, Csikszentmihalyi argues that our obsessive focus on measures like money, important jobs, and leisure time has led us astray.

He suggests that people are happiest when they challenge themselves with tasks that require a high degree of skill and commitment.

The book explains the concept of 'flow,' a psychological state characterized by full immersion, concentration, clear goals, immediate feedback, and a balance between challenge and skill.

It provides practical advice on how to incorporate flow into daily life, transforming routine tasks and leisure activities into engaging and fulfilling experiences.
