Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
In this beautifully written book, Csikszentmihalyi (one of the fathers of positive psychology) explores the elusive and enchanting state of flow. It is that amazing state of blissful immersion into a difficult yet worthwhile activity – we also call it “the optimal experience”, being “in the zone”, or “getting lost” in something we are doing. Building more flow into our life leads to a deeper sense of meaning, more joy and creativity, faster learning, and overall more wellbeing – and this book dissects the state of flow and gives you first steps into how to create more of it.
It is also a very special book for Happiness Academy – it is the one that by strange coincidence fell into my hands while sailing on Whitsundays in Australia in 2009 and led me to fall in love with positive psychology… and eventually, start up Happiness Academy.
