Awesome book

So first of all I would like to say that the content is a absolute must read.

Then I would also like to address the comment I heard many times that the speaker does a bad job I think it’s opposite the unusual way of the speaker makes this audiobook sound really authentic and spontaneous and I really enjoyed listening to this I finished it in two or three days maximum

Ich habe Fragen

Inhaltlich ist dieses Buch ganz klar empfehlenswert. Der Sprecher (der Autor) hätte dieses Hörbuch aber einfach nicht sprechen sollen. Ich kann nicht nachvollziehen weshalb man das nicht von einem professionellen Sprecher hat aufnehmen lassen.
Herr Csikszentmihalyi hat zwar versucht seinen extremen Akzent zu vertuschen, es blieb aber beim Versuch.
Nochmal: der Inhalt ist top! Man kann das gute Stück aber leider nicht länger als 30min am Stück hören.

Generally underrated!

If you are into peak performance or have a background in competitive sports you will already be familiar with the concept of flow. In basketball for instance "being in the zone" - a synonym for flow - is something often talked about by fans and players alike. When you are in a flow state you are performing at your best and you are doing so effortlessly. At least so it seems. If you are interested in learning about this mind state from a fairly scientific, but also practical perspective, this book is for you. I consider FLOW a classic on the topic, which stands unrivaled to this day, although it was published more than two decades ago.

The book is narrated by the author, a now retired professor of psychology. I consider narration by the author virtually always a plus, because in my perception it makes the spoken word more credible and authentic. This is also true for this book.

Like the other books I have reviewed, this book has earned my appreciation by making every word count. It is to the point. A quick read and definitely worth a re-read. The audiobook comes with a pdf, which contains a summary of each of the book's chapters. I found this summary to be quite handy if you want a quick refresher on the main concepts of the book.

What a lucky man he was

The concept of flow of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has turned into mainstream. The book show that in many aspects of live the introduction of flow can turn you into a lucky man (or women for that part).

It is only a pity that the flow while reading is often interupted by the intermezzos and music. But luckily, thanks to flow, I became conscious that by listening while on the running belt, I could reduce by concentration span and turn the slow motion of the book once again into a real flow!

probably the best book I’ve heard

well the title says it all... probably the only reason why it is not in the school program is because the teachers don’t understand the content

Great content

Eventhough I can not say his name, his ideas and examples are fantastic. Heard it many times while running and the miles went by like that. It broadens the picture what flow is and how it can be achieved. And i like his voice, such an important message but never lost temper.
