Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi – Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention
Publisher: Harper Perennial (May 9, 1997) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0060928204 | EPUB | 464 pages | 919 kb
Based on interviews with 91 internationally recognized creative people-among them Nobel physicist John Bardeen, arts administrator-performer Kitty Carlisle Hart, writer Denise Levertov, jazz musician Oscar Peterson, electronics executive Robert Galvin-this book offers a highly readable anatomy of creativity. As Csikzentmihalyi (Flow) argues, creativity requires not only unusual individuals, but a culture and field of experts that can foster and validate such work. Most creative people, the author suggests, have dialectic personalities: smart yet naive, both extroverted and introverted, etc. Expanding on his previous book, Csikszentmihalyi suggests that complex and challenging work exemplifies fully engaged “flow.” Synthesizing study results, he reports that none of the interviewees was popular during adolescence; while they were not necessarily more brilliant than their college peers, they displayed more “concentrated attention.” Later, they kept a consistent focus on future work. The author reminds us that while individuals can make their own opportunities, a supportive society offering resources and rewards can foster creativity. His advice may sound like homilies-”Try to be surprised by something every day”-but is often worthy.

While I try to stay on the Constitutional issue, liberals insist on making this about women’s issues in general and contraceptives in particular. Exactly why I should pay for someone’s recreational sex through a mandate eludes my reading of the US Constitution – and I fully expect it to elude the members of the US Supreme Court when they rule on the Obamacare mandate in June. Throwing out Obamacare will negate this additional contraception mandate, since Obamacare is the Genesis of the additional contraceptive insurance mandate.
Merry Christmas Eric. Thank you for the Los Banos photos. I am using software to restore a noisy cassette tape recording of my Father speaking about his internment during WWII as a POW, and how very helpful the Phillipino people were to him and his fellow prisoners, at great personal risk to themselves. When you take a bike trip through Santo Tomas I would appreciate any photos of this location as well. Happy New Year!

As a Brit this is so true it made me howl laughing. I only recently nearly fell out with a canadian colleague when he described something I had done as “quite good” which had me wondering what I had done wrong.
