When I first read FLOW in graduate school, I was struck by the simple idea of it: being absorbed in whatever you're doing leads to flow, Which Usually leads to feeling you're living a meaningful life. I now use "flow" as a lens to consider everything; so many people seem so miserable Because theyhave not found Their flow activity, or have not been willing or able to make room for it in Their Lives. In my own book, WRITING IN FLOW, For Which Csikszentmihalyi wrote the Foreword, I was able to apply theory ideas to a Writing Life, Which Shows Their universality. My life has not been the same since! FLOW Describes how to recognize this Altered State and how to make it more likely to happen Regularly. It's impossible to read this book and not find resonances in your own life.
