The book contains a plethora of information that needs time to absorb, a comprehensive guide to truly control oneself and enjoy in each and every moment. "Flow" is defined as a zen-state of concentration where you are so involved in a sole activity that nothing else seems to matter. I will probably write a super long review for this book later, but let's point out one point I really learnt from this book: to make activities more enjoyable, you must develop an "autotelic" (Greek origin: self+goal) self" to immerse in every activities and get the intrinsic reward from the joy of doing it.
This is definitely a really important book that I was really lucky to came across and be able to finish it. Although the author is a psychology professor and the book is a condensed result of various preceding researches, he was so kind to make complex concepts intelligible to the average reader, but still includes an enormous amount of literature review for further readings for those who are interested.

A fascinating read! I’ve been learning more about topics of psychology such as the flow state, so I was very engaged and interested throughout. A lot of what the author says makes sense and I have learned a lot from this book.

Flow is an allusive concept but this book does a decent job of establishing the basic concepts. It's when you're completely absorbed in a project and find you lose track of yourself and time while you're so focussed.
The book helps to understanding the underlying principles but I'm dubious about whether it would actually help you acheive a state of flow. If it was that easy we'd all spend the bulk of our time compeltely lost in satisfying projects.
I've given this book three stars because I felt like it was pretty heavily padded out in places to justify putting it in a book. This could have been an excellent 60-80 page book but instead was a little bit flabby in places.

Loved the ideas in this book—definitely worth the read. Just wasn't the simplest read.
