Книга представляет собой уникальный подход к эмоциональной жизни и регуляции поведения. Радость потока — высшая награда природы за стремление решать сложные задачи. Качество переживаний можно повысить, лишь вложив внимание и организованные усилия; другие валюты здесь не имеют значения. Автор напоминает, что счастье — это не случайность, а искусство и наука, требующие усилий и квалификации. Ключ к счастью — умение контролировать себя и свои чувства, находя радость в повседневности. Исследуя творческих личностей, автор обнаружил, что их счастье связано с состоянием потока, которое не является исключительным для избранных. Он предлагает детальную и экспериментально подтвержденную теорию, где поток — это состояние полного погружения в дело, когда теряется ощущение времени и возникает прилив энергии. Состояние потока — одна из самых прекрасных вещей в жизни, и книга ведет читателя к этому состоянию. Счастье не является благодатью, а результатом осмысленных усилий. Это редкий пример высоконаучного подхода к повседневной жизни. Книга предназначена для всех, кто стремится к счастью, интересуется психологией и хочет преодолеть нехватку радости в жизни. В состоянии потока удовольствие сливается с усилиями и смыслом, создавая безграничное состояние радости. Автор — Михай Чиксентмихайи, известный психолог и профессор, работающий в США.

The classic study of the creative process from the bestselling author of Flow Creativity is about capturing those moments that make life worth living. Legendary psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (“The leading researcher into ‘flow states.’” — Newsweek) reveals what leads to these moments—be it the excitement of the artist at the easel or the scientist in the lab—so that this knowledge can be used to enrich people's lives. Drawing on nearly one hundred interviews with exceptional people, from biologists and physicists, to politicians and business leaders, to poets and artists, as well as his thirty years of research on the subject, Csikszentmihalyi uses his famous flow theory to explore the creative process. He discusses such ideas as why creative individuals are often seen as selfish and arrogant, and why the "tortured genius" is largely a myth. Most important, he explains why creativity needs to be cultivated and is necessary for the future of our country, if not the world.
