It&#8217;s a not a light read as you will need to digest the content and it will always make you think.\u00a0If you are unhappy, anxious, or generally dissatisfied with the direction of your life, read this book it will surely help.<\/p>\n<p>In book author defines 8 elements of enjoyment:<br \/>\n1. Confront challenging but completable tasks\u00a0(if the activity is too easy, we\u2019re bored; if it\u2019s too difficult, we\u2019re anxious)<br \/>\n2. Concentration<br \/>\n3. Clear goals<br \/>\n4. Immediate feedback<br \/>\n5. Deep, effortless involvement (lack of awareness of worries and frustrations)<br \/>\n6. Sense of control over actions<br \/>\n7. Concern for self disappears (paradoxically awareness of self is heightened immediately after flow)<br \/>\n8. Sense of duration of time is altered\u00a0(either \u201chours feel like minutes\u201d or vice versa)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a must read. It will take roughly 20 to 30 days to complete this book.
