franr 's review for:

Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
4.5
informative reflective slow-paced

A serious and well-informed attempt at defining happiness, in a way that applies to all aspects of life, while still being specific and based on patterns observed in real life. Packed with examples and references.

The author does go on many tangents, sometimes barely relevant to the core idea of the book. Most of it is still quite interesting.
