What is the best experience you've ever had?

Do you more often feel apathetic or engaged throughout your day?

Flow is "the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it." Does that sound like something you want more of?

In this episode, the humans discuss Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. They cover what Flow is, how to structure your life and personality to get more Flow, and the Paradox of Work in our culture.

Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
