About this work

Description

This classic work on happiness presents the general principles that have enabled real people to transform boring and meaningless lives into ones full of enjoyment. It introduces the phenomenon of 'flow' - a state of joy, creativity and total involvement, in which problems seem to disappear and there is an exhilarating feeling of transcendence. We each have the potential to experience flow, whether at work, at play or in our relationships.
