Story
In flow, everyday experience becomes a moment by moment opportunity for joy and self-fulfillment. Flow is the brain-child of a fascinating psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a renowned social scientist who has devoted his life's work to the study of what makes people truly happy, satisfied and fulfilled. While much of the study of psychology investigates disorders of the human mind, Dr. Csikszentmihalyi takes a different route.

In a world filled with gurus, conflicting philosophies, and a mountain of information, learning how to find a sense of purpose can get confusing. Ikigai is a Japanese philosophy that’s widespread through their culture. Ikigai can be translated as the value of life, and it’s a philosophy centered on living a life of purpose and meaning. It’s not a strict philosophy that enslaves us to a foreign sense of purpose. Instead, it’s about giving value to your own life, no matter how you may choose to live it.

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

In The Influential Mind, neuroscientist Tali Sharot takes us on a thrilling exploration of the nature of influence. We all have a duty to affect others - from the classroom to the boardroom to social media. But how skilled are we at this role, and can we become better? It turns out that many of our instincts - from relying on facts and figures to shape opinions, to insisting others are wrong or attempting to exert control - are ineffective because they are incompatible with how people's minds operate.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn.

Publisher's Summary
Part psychological study, part self-help book, Finding Flow is a prescriptive guide that helps us reclaim ownership of our lives.
Based on a far-reaching study of thousands of individuals, Finding Flow contends that we often walk through our days unaware of and out of touch with our emotional lives. Our inattention makes us constantly bounce between two extremes: During much of the day, we live filled with the anxiety and pressures of our work and obligations, and during our leisure moments, we tend to live in passive boredom. The key, according to Csikszentmihalyi, is to challenge ourselves with tasks requiring a high degree of skill and commitment. Instead of watching television, play the piano. Transform a routine task by taking a different approach. In short, learn the joy of complete engagement. Though they appear simple, the lessons in Finding Flow are life altering.

I was expecting a guided personal development book
After hearing multiple references to this author’s wisdom from other sources, I expected more from this book. To me, it did define Flow, but did not do much of a job at giving instructions on how to move from where we are now into the flow state. Much of his examples were of people who were already experiencing flow, not of how someone went from low flow to high flow content in their life. So I feel the title of this book “Finding Flow” doesn’t fit its story. Maybe it should be called “Those Who Have Flow”. If you are looking to define flow and who achieves it and when they do, this is a good book for you. It’s not a practical guidebook.

A few nuggets but seemed to meander
Any additional comments?
An interesting subject ("flow") but I felt that the material meandered-- felt like a collection of findings, anecdotes, opinions; some of it repetitive, some of it seemingly unrelated to "flow." Perhaps it could have been organized better. Some interesting points here and there but it didn't seem to build up to anything. In fact, the ending felt "new age," out of place, and unsatisfying.

Flow, streaming of sense and consciousness
Although the book became a 'cannon', it could set a remarkable stage to those who want to find the secret of success, flow. Unlike overflow state, flow can be stated as capability linking state of mindset of one individual reasonable. As the society advances, more information and knowledge circulate around, flow became essential. All need to focus in certain work by clearing mindset, organizing tasks, and optimizing objects. Find your flow state by reading thia book. I recommend it.

Not as much about the subject as I had hoped...
...instead, several hours of gender work tropes... and oddly enough, some self-contradictions (the author has his own bias about genders in the workplace, and addresses mostly men). If you're interested in the research being done on flow states, or if you're a woman - you can probably skip this one.

Outdated, clearly written in pre-smartphone era
My expectations of the father of Flow theory were clearly too high. It was a pleasant listening but without any "aha moments" or useful takeaways.
The book and the research it's based on are clearly outdated. Only TV is discussed when talking about teenagers consuming media. There I no mention of gaming, the Internet or social media interactions.

the gift of creative understanding, to me
Thank you Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I retain the message, that is hard to grasp completely on first listen, as a cloud of resource. I think it is always to be a creative resource not a set factual block of information. I plan to listen again. I only get interesting and engaging and creative thoughts with this. The narrative is very enjoyable and deep.
