Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Book Insights Podcast - Un pódcast de Memo'd
Categorías:
- Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says it is best to think about the universe in terms of order and chaos (entropy)
- The best way to have an ordered mind, and a life of meaning, is to engage in many ‘flow’ activities.
- A flow activity is one undertaken for its own sake rather than an end result – running a marathon for the joy of it, say, rather than in desperation to win the race.
- In a nutshell, flow makes life more meaningful, and a meaningful life, argues Csikszentmihalyi, is the key to happiness.
