ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi delves into the psychology of optimal experience, a state of complete immersion and enjoyment in an activity. The book explores how individuals can transform their lives by achieving this state of total involvement, which the author calls flow. Rather than offering simple recipes for happiness, it presents general principles and real-life examples illustrating how people have found enjoyment in their daily experiences. The central theme revolves around understanding and gaining control over consciousness to shape the quality of life, turning mundane moments into rewarding ones.
