Publisher’s Summary
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s famous investigations of “optimal experience” have revealed that what makes an experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow. During flow, people typically experience deep enjoyment, creativity, and a total involvement with life. In this new edition of his groundbreaking classic work, Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates the ways this positive state can be controlled, not just left to chance. Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience teaches how, by ordering the information that enters our consciousness, we can discover true happiness and greatly improve the quality of our lives.
“Explore[s] a happy state of mind called flow, the feeling of complete engagement in a creative or playful activity.”—Time

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Very insightful and well written”
I like the questions it delves into. Invites you to know yourself, what you do and how you do it. One of those books you listen many times.— Juan, Audible listener
3/5 stars — “Merely adequate “
I bought this in audio. I wanted a "How To" book on getting into the flow state. This is more of a history book. Parts of the book is interesting, but I stopped listening halfway through the book because it never seemed it would accomplish what I bought it for. Maybe when I run out of audiobooks to listen to, I’ll listen to the second half, but right now it seems to be a waste of time.— Ted M, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Life changing”
Confirmed a number of beliefs about extraordinary moments of clarity. You will have an aha moment for sure.— Mike Inmon, Audible listener
