Came across the book Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (say that ten times fast) in the stacks while packing up for my physical move at the end of the week.
This quote seemed very much worth sharing as it sums up one of the main goals of living, if one is to make the most of the opportunity that is life:
People who attempt it are thought to be faintly ridiculous, “uptight” or not quite “with it,” but whatever the dictates of fashion, it seems that those who take the trouble to gain mastery over what happens in consciousness do live a happier life.
Who do you know who has made the attempt or is currently doing so? Who has succeeded that you know? Have you? What are the steps you’ve taken, if you have? Feel free to toot your horn if it deserves tooting, by the way.
