Sent it to my recent Summa -- Graduated Daughter she's taking a Gap semester this summer, mostly since the News coming out of academe, is not good news. With her honors thesis approved filed and bioinformatics minor in reserve, I suggested she shift a bit from bacterial pathogens, toward more Medical Science research prep, she dove into the MCATs - lighting up when she located her old friends, Molecular Bio & Biochemistry - I think she's conscious again... Today, I repacked and sent "Flow" for her perusal, here's the opening cords: <br /> <br />Hi --Got this PDF ref from a friend online, hope you choose to read it this summer... was thinking in terms of your comments to me, such as: "I'm on a roll" working on my project; 'in the groove studying for a test'; or "just Going with the Flow" --sounds familiar dear, but what does it mean??? ;) ~~~WT<br /><br />Excerpted this from PDF link below: <br />Flow – The Psychology of optimal experience - By Mihaly Cziksentmihalyi - Harper, 1990 <br />Introduction This fascinating book is all about happiness and how to find it. Cziksentmihalyi is an authority on the subject. As he explains, happiness is not something that happens, that money or power can command. Happiness is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated and defended privately by each person. It is only by controlling our inner experience that we can become happy. Happiness cannot be reached by consciously searching for it. As J S Mill once put it, “Ask yourselves whether you are happy and you cease to be so”. <br /><br />Optimal Experience The author uses the term “optimal experience” to describe those occasions where we feel a sense of exhilaration, a deep sense of enjoyment, which we cherish for long and that becomes a landmark in our lives. These moments are often not passive, receptive relaxing times. They tend to occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something that is difficult or worthwhile. <br /><br />Everything we experience is represented in the mind as information. If we are able to connect this information, we can determine what our lives will be like. Optimal states result when there is order in consciousness. This happens when we are focused on realistic goals with our skills matching the opportunities for action. Goals allow people to concentrate attention on the task at hand, forgetting other things temporarily.<br /><br />The key element of an optimal experience is that it is an end in itself. It may be undertaken for other reasons but the activity soon becomes intrinsically rewarding. It is autotelic. (Auto means self and teleos means goal). An autotelic experience lifts life to a different level. Building Inner Harmony Our level of happiness ultimately depends on how our mind filters and interprets everyday experiences. Happiness depends on inner harmony, not on our ability to exert control over the great forces of the universe<br />. . .<br />To become happy, we must strive to become independent of the social environment, i.e. become less sensitive to its rewards and punishments. The essence of socialization is to make people dependent on social controls, to make them respond predictably to rewards and punishments. All social controls are ultimately based on a threat to the survival instinct.<br />...<br />We must learn to enjoy and to find meaning in the ongoing stream of experience, in the process of living itself. This will ensure that the burden of social controls falls off from our shoulders.<br />. . . <br />Free PDF offered here,www.researchgate.net and there, just search by title & author, Amazon has it as well:<br />https://www.researchgate.net/publication/224927532_Flow_The_Psychology_of_Optimal_Experience<br />Tks again Mike,<br />On Watch~~~<br />"Let's Roll"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-74964271050251230092020-06-16T18:25:49.353-04:002020-06-16T18:25:49.353-04:00I don't know what's going on.
