Finding Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Here's another book by Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced "chick-SENT-me-high") that I really like. Both from a personal development and from an experience design perspective, this book gave me some great ideas on how to make activities more engaging and more satisfying. A great companion to this succinct volume is another book by Csikszentmihalyi, entitled Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience. Get that book, if you want to understand his principles, in more detail.

I really like the concept of flow -- I think it explains a lot about what we should do with our attention and time. =)

I also always wondered how to pronounce that. Now I know!

I always wondered how to pronounce that too, so thx. His work is referenced a lot by museum people developing "experiences" in museums - this reminds me to go and read it for myself.
