In flow, everyday experience becomes a moment by moment opportunity for joy and self-fulfillment. Flow is the brain-child of a fascinating psychologist, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a renowned social scientist who has devoted his life's work to the study of what makes people truly happy, satisfied and fulfilled. While much of the study of psychology investigates disorders of the human mind, Dr. Csikszentmihalyi takes a different route.

Found the book interesting and valuable!
Reviewed: 02-04-20
I listened to this book as I was interested in clues about how to get into a state of flow. In the past I had found experiencing flow very interesting, enjoyable and productive but a fleeting and rare occurrence. Listening to this book along with some liminal coaching, that I was simultaneous undertaking was helpful. I feel that I now understand flow, it causes or triggers and find that I can more easily obtain it. For myself I would describe it as a relaxed focus that I feel in my forehead while at the same time I am aware of the noises, activities and occurrences that are happening in my periphery and or background without being pulled away by them as distractions.

New research has revealed that myelin, once considered an inert form of insulation for brain cells, may be the holy grail of acquiring skill. Journalist Daniel Coyle spent years investigating talent hotbeds, interviewing world-class practitioners (top soccer players, violinists, fighter, pilots, artists, and bank robbers) and neuroscientists. In clear, accessible language, he presents a solid strategy for skill acquisition.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 114
Sir Jackie Stewart is a man of immense charisma and integrity and is one of the most highly regarded names in global sport: winner of three F1 World Championships, 27 Grands Prix, and ranked in the top five drivers of all time. On retiring from the circuit, he went on to build an equally impressive international business career. In the 1960s and into the 70s, with his black cap, sideburns, and aviator shades, Jackie Stewart was an unmistakable icon in a glorious era of style, glamour, and speed.

A humble and yet highly accomplished man who overcame a severe handicap.
Reviewed: 09-04-18
Jackie Stewart’s book grabbed my interest because he took the time to speak at my son’s school (Chartwell School located in Monterey, Ca) about his issues with dyslexia. As a parent of a dyslexic child Jackie opened my eyes to hope. I no longer worry about my son’s future.
In the book Jackie barely touches his issues with dyslexia compared to what he said to the students and parents whose children are attending a school for dyslexics. The school is for children who learn differently. “Not all great minds think alike.” Jackie took his handicap, his different way of thing and not only survived but thrived by looking for ways to do things differently.
His talk changed my life forever in a very positive way. And as a result of my attitude shift it has changed the life of my 12 year old son.
I encourage you to take the time to listen to this YouTube clip posted on this page of my son’s school website.

Watching this video gave me the answers that I was looking for.
God bless you Jackie! And thank you for putting part of your life down in words.
