A fundamental psychological text which introduces one of the central pieces to shape game design and performance.

Flow still remains a mysterious factor but ever growing in socio economic relevance. If society “flowed” might we forget many other problems?

This is an empowering read for someone who is not considered excellent in their field, and may not even seek notoriety, but wants to engage more creatively in their work and life.

The huge problem I have with this book is Csikszentmihalyi's focus on the domain and background of the individual. While he sent his survey out to many people, the respondents come from a fairly narrow background-university educated and from the United States. He ignores that there is a great deal of creativity coming out of other communities around the world and in North America and, instead, concludes that one must come from wealth and privilege if they are to develop natural talent. This conclusion colours all his other conclusions.

Still, his advice at the end on developing a more creative lifestyle is sound, if not a bit repetitive of other works and, again, assumes quite a lot of privilege.

I didn't think much of this book. It read more like fan mail rather than the results of scientific research. Although the last few pages had some reasonable advice, I'm not sure what the grounding was for giving the advice. Maybe it's in an earlier book. Once again, as is so often the case these days, the title of the book was only vaguely connected to the content of the book. It wasn't about "flow" -- whatever that is. It was more about lifestyles of geniuses. I kind of had Robin Leach floating through my head as I was reading this book.… (lisätietoja)

Gjendja natyrore e vetëdijes sonë është kaosi, i dominuar nga mendimet, kujtimet dhe përvojat e pakontrolluara. Rrjedha, ose përvoja optimale, është, përkundrazi, një gjendje rregullsie e brendshme. Në këtë moment, vetëdija e shqetësuar, e cila zakonisht përpiqet të kontrollojë ngjarjet, e heq pjesërisht kontrollin e saj: nuk ka energji të mjaftueshme psikike për të përballuar dy detyra në të njëjtën kohë. Si rezultat, energjia lëshohet dhe drejtohet drejt një lëvizjeje të qetë drejt zgjidhjes së detyrave të caktuara.… (lisätietoja)
