Flow - Engaging in Everyday Life
Have you experienced that sense of “flow” when working on something inspiring and challenging? An experience some might call “spiritual”? the opposite of boredom and anxiety? Csikszentmihalyi presents a perspective on this sense, including how it works and how we might find more of it. I’ve included the two books I’ve found most helpful, plus others which serve for deeper explorations into the topic.
