Finding the Flow
Ever wondered about Flow? Why does it matter?
Ever had a moment, like athletes in the zone or artists with their muse, where you're so focused that everything flows effortlessly? Psychologists call it "Flow." It is the magical state where time seems to stand still, and everything effortlessly falls into place.
Flow, first introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csíkszentmihályi in the 70s, is a mental state of deep focus and enjoyment in an activity, losing track of time and space. Steven Kotler simplifies it in the Rise of the Superhuman as a state where actions and decisions effortlessly flow into each other, like high-speed problem solving or being carried away by the river of peak performance.
