Oooh, I loved it. I am definitely hanging out in the anxiety quadrant today, low level of perceived skill clashing with high level of perceived challenge. They are probably closer together than I think, but tell that to my ego.

Hi, Alex.

I found one of his titles on Audible.com. It’s called Good Business, Leadership, Flow, and the Making of Meaning .

Also, Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology and author of Authentic Happiness, discusses Csikszentmihalyi’s work. They’re good friends.

In fact, almost any book or article highlighting the new flood of research centered on happiness and fulfillment will make reference to his work.

I hope that helps.

Great talk! I’d heard of this book and the research of Flow, but I haven’t been able to get it because I don’t think it exists in my country. Still, I’ll try to get it because the ideas are very interesting, and how there is a proccess that can be followed to achieve those little brushes with the perfect moment.
Also, I loved his simple humor and how he saw the world he lived in when he was young.
Thanks so much for posting this video, it was very enlightening.

Hi, Dayne. TED.com is definitely on my top ten websites list. You can also subscribe to their talks via podcast on iTunes.

Thank you for sharing this video. I actually read his book FLOW this past year and thought it was great. I never thought of looking on YouTube for this, so thanks for posting it! BTW, your blog is fantastic, I’m a big fan.

Thanks again,
