![]() I’ve tried Stumbling on Happiness and I’ve tried The Happiness Hypothesis. I’m no stranger to looking at the topic of happiness and trying to decode its mysteries. There’s got to be a reason to seek anything and in the case of flow, it seems like the reason is happiness. ![]() If I was going to spend my life seeking out better performance and deeper understanding, I needed to make sure that I more fully understood what the “father” of flow thought – and the place for that is his book simply titled Flow. However, after reading The Rise of Superman I realized I need to come back to Csikszentmihalyi’s work on flow and make sure that I really understood it. ![]() When reviewing my notes I realized that I didn’t mention that Emotional Intelligence referred to flow repeatedly. Finding Flow wasn’t the last reference to the flow state. Knowledge building for me is the process described in “Research in the age of electrons” where I highlight, copy, re-highlight, and write. In fact, I didn’t write my post “ Research in the age of electrons” until February 2012. That was very early on in my process of knowledge building. It was back in October of 2011 when I wrote my book review of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s book Finding Flow. ![]()
