    About this ebook

    Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi | Conversation Starters

    The state called flow is the key to deeply satisfying experiences in life. It is a state of consciousness that creates total involvement, creativity, and full enjoyment. The author explains the conditions for flow to happen. Eight elements are identified.
    Csikszentmihalyi is known for his expertise on the autotelic personality, which posits the idea that there are people who perform acts that are intrinsically rewarding to them, rather than pursue external goals. He says the autotelic personality is observed in individuals who know how to enjoy situations that would otherwise cause misery in other people.

    Flow is a national bestseller written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He also wrote The Evolving Self.
