About this title: Part psychological study, part self-help book, Finding Flow is a prescriptive guide that helps us reclaim ownership of our lives. Based on a far-reaching study of thousands of individuals, Finding Flow contends that we often walk through our days unaware and out of touch with our emotional lives. Our inattention makes us constantly bounce between two extremes: during much of the day we live filled with the anxiety and pressures of our work and obligations, while during our leisure moments, we tend to live in passive boredom. The key, according to Csikszentmihalyi, is to challenge ourselves ...

"A quick and interesting read. I like that the concept of "flow" is something I typically practice, whether I had a term for it or not, and this book has given me insight on how to increase this flow in life. With a background in psychology, I appreciated that aspect of the book."
"I love this book. Along similar lines of the books Stumbling on Happiness and The Happiness Hypothesis, Finding Flow describes tools that contribute to a paradigm shift that help improve quality of life. Happiness is a loaded word, coming with all sorts of connotations depending on who is defining it. Religion likes to put a monopoly on what they feel is the formula to happiness. Motivational and health gurus contribute another formula. Stripped of bias' this book gets to the common sense basics of minimizing distractions and provide methods to get in the "zone." A place of much personal satisfaction.
Finding Flow is loaded with practical, relevant information. As one shifts, evolves and grows in the personal arena, the tips used in this book provide an excellent segue to minimize developmental bumps."
"A big wake up call to get your butt off the couch and engage in active rather than passive leisure. Made me ask myself some tough questions, especially, "What does a good life look like to me?""
