Further Adventures in Flow
Here are a couple of articles that you might find illuminating as you take time to explore the deeper ramifications of fun in your life - articles about Cisikszentmihalyi, of course:
This one, called "'Flow' and Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi" was written by a very good listener who was at the time new to Csikszentmihalyi's work. Based on a lecture he gave in 1999, the article examines some of Csikszentmihalyi's more recent reflections on his work. I liked his use of the term "apathy" -
it's the first time I've heard of his using that term in relation to the flow experience. It made me wonder whether apathy actually has something to do with the flow experience - maybe as a motivator for our seeking out flow.
And here's an earlier article from Wired where he relates Flow to site design.
