SH58: Finding Flow in your Time Off

How much do you enjoy your leisure time?

Does your mind feel like a beehive of chaos at times?

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."

In this episode, the humans discuss Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. They cover what Flow is, Psychic Energy and Entropy, how to enjoy your time off, and the stages of meaning in life.

Standard Humans is hosted by Aidan Dennehy and Evan.
