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 UR - http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0060162538&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=397849eedaaf54d271794b5cce8f02dd0198156e35fe4ae4418795347bef5c8d&ectype=MOREINFO UR - http://firstsearch.oclc.org/WebZ/DECRead?standardNoType=1&standardNo=0060162538&sessionid=0&srcdbname=worldcat&key=397849eedaaf54d271794b5cce8f02dd0198156e35fe4ae4418795347bef5c8d&ectype=EXCERPT ER -
