First read the author's other masterpiece - "Flow", and then read the book "Discovering Flow". "Flow" answers "What is flow and why is it important?" And "Discovering Flow" answers "How to create flow and make life happier." Flow Flow refers to a state when people are engrossed in an activity, forget themselves, and gain inner satisfaction from the activity. For example, when a painter is creating, he is completely immersed in the world of colors and lines. Time seems to have stopped. After completing the painting, he feels full of accomplishment. The occurrence of flow requires certain conditions, such as matching the challenges faced with one's own abilities. If the challenge is too high, people will feel anxious; If the challenge is too low, it's easy to get bored. Flow in life Flow is possible in all aspects of life. Work is not just a chore to survive. When people focus on work tasks, fully utilize their skills, and respond to appropriate challenges, work can also bring about a flow experience.

Reading summary, people's lifelong goal in life is probably to pursue happiness. How to obtain valuable and lasting happiness? In flow, first find an area that you love or don't reject, and it's easy to enter a state of selflessness when taking action. Set a big goal, and then break it down into small goals. Especially when you start, it must be simple. If you are just starting out, you can keep up with the ability. After completing it, you will gain confidence and a sense of accomplishment, and you will have the motivation to continue doing it. This is positive feedback. The sages said that success = choosing the right direction + continuous efforts, so you may not necessarily be happy in a state of flow, but the result will definitely be. Flow → Success → Happiness.

[Exploration] This book feels like the last few chapters are the focus. [Thinking] I learned how to reflect. You should reflect when you are happy, successful, or doing other things. If you reflect when you are anxious or failed, it will only worsen. [Exploration] For things you don't want to do, love and control destiny, set a goal to achieve "I want" = "I must", be interesting and interesting.

Description of flow: Being immersed in doing things, forgetting about time, and getting a particularly pleasant feeling after making outstanding achievements. Promote flow: focus on concentration, challenge your abilities, and enjoy yourself. So what should flow be used for? Work or play, or no distinction? Starting today, you will have the joy of flow!

The idea of ​​setting goals and arranging every day's work has been strengthened in my mind.
