Finding Flow
Posted by geetarista May 09, 2006
A while ago I talked about the Flow book that I read. Well, I just finished another book by the same author called Finding Flow. Although it was a very good book, I think that it was just the scaled down version of the previous book. Some of the chapters even have the same exact names, namely, The Paradox of Work and The Autotelic Personality. If I were to refer someone to read either of these two books, I would go with Finding Flow. Although it doesn’t go into as much detail as Flow, it still covers the main idea. Most of the people I know are not psychologists who would find Flow a great read.
Of course the book isn’t just Flow with the detail removed. The ideas in the book are presented in an entirely different way with different context, but it is generally the same information presented from Flow. There are a couple new graphs and a different graph showing what optimal experience looks like.
