WHY THIS BOOK: FLOW

-


Flow book is written by Mihaly Csikszentmihali. It is based on happiness. Flow is a state of consciousness that makes an experience satisfying. In the book we read about optimal experience. It is discovered that people will usually get deep enjoyment from being totally involved with life, either by being creative, learning new skills, concentrating on difficult tasks or establishing clear goals.

In the book, the theory has been written, is very interesting to me because I found that I am learning a new skill through books and pursuing my goals. I find that I just cannot be settled in a simple routine. I always have to be pushing myself by developing my mind, body and soul. So, this book establishes what we all probably know while helping us understand the psychology behind the theory wrote in the book.

This book is not for just a read or a light read. It is dense, heavy and requires concentration. The amount of concentration needed to get through. The book goes towards one of the components of deep enjoyment which is what this book encourages for living a deeply fulfilled life. I would probably refer back to the book and keep it almost like a hand book of life. It is important for all of us to remember why we are here on this planet and this book helps us realize it.



So, if anyone is unhappy, anxious, lost or generally disappointed with the way life is sailing, grab this book and give a read. This book will prove an enlightening and entertaining experience that will propel us to live our best life.

While reading the book we will learn…

How to set goals?

How to immerse in any activity?

How to pay attention to what is happening?

Learn to enjoy immediate experience!

Mihaly Csikszentmihali’s book on flow is one of the most influential and seminal work on happiness. It is exhaustive and well-articulated which considers all aspects of the optimal experience on consciousness, body, thoughts, solitude or even on personal relationship. It is not some philosophical work but a mixture of research oriented and psychology book which provides a fresh perspective.

The power of your subconscious mind book is written by Joseph Murphy . It is a self-help type book . In the book we read about the power of our subconscious mind. Our mind is the only leader of our thinking. It defines our success or failure. It decides our capabilities to do the things possible or impossible. We read in the book… People all around may discourage us but we should try and try until the task is done. We can do everything what we can think, if we prepare our subconscious mind. Our thoughts decide our life and actions to try to be positive most of the time. We have healing power in our subconscious mind. Every disease first develops in our mind then reaches to our body. We should govern our task according to our thinking. In any situation of our life we should think that we are happy, harmonious, strong, loving and careful etc. Negative thoughts like stress , anxiety, fear, tension etc. destroy our thinking and result in serious diseases. Peace of Mind is the greatest...

We all know today is 15th August Independence Day. It is a very great day for us as a citizen of India. Today everyone is sharing photos and updating status on all the social media sites, like the whole country is coloured with tricolour. We all celebrate this day every year with full zeal and in patriotic way. We all have a cordial nature for our soldiers. We will always remember the sacrifice of soldiers in Jammu Kashmir operation (1948), China war (1962), Pakistan war (1965), Bangladesh war (1971), IPKF operation Pawan in Sri Lanka (1987), Kargil conflict (1999), and many more operations that gave befitting response to those who tried to dismantle the sovereignty of India. It feels very good to see everyone is patriotic and showing love towards the country but this feeling should be long lasting not only on Independence Day or in Republic day. In these two days we proudly hoist flag everywhere but after one or two days we saw many tore flags on the road, in garbage like a waste pap...

Unblocking The Most Beautiful Heart

It was 25 th  2010 July, first day of my engineering college. I was very sincere, so I was there to attend the class there were three boys and two girls, others were absent because it was first day and some people take the first day lightly. It was Reena ma’am‘s class but before teaching there was an introduction session. Though I was not good at English but I managed to introduce myself and told her about myself. After sometime it was turn of a girl. Her name was Jasmine, she was very busy in reading some books I thought she did not mind what’s going on. Ma’am said, “Jasmine… tell me about yourself.” She hastily stood up; she was very chubby, cute girl with pink cheeks. She introduced herself; i was very closely observing her and her beauty. Some of her hair locks were disturbing her vision by playing with her spectacles. For me it was like love at first sight. Her pink lips were like petals of rose. Her eyes were big like it was hiding a deep mysterious ocean in which i could ...
