During flow, people typically experience deep enjoyment, creativity, and a total involvement with life. In this new edition of his groundbreaking classic work, Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates the ways this positive state can be controlled, not just left to chance. *Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience* teaches how, by ordering the information that enters our consciousness, we can discover true happiness and greatly improve the quality of our lives."}, "lc_classifications": ["BF575*"], "dewey_number": ["158", "158.1"], "latest_revision": 13, "revision": 13, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-10-25T14:08:14.552984"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2023-12-19T19:46:34.681324"}}
