Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi on enabling and preventing happiness
Flow – a state in which you are so involved in an activity nothing else matters and your attention is very focused
Psychic Entropy – a state with split attention and conflicting demands making you very self-conscious and anxious
Eight components of flow
1. Clear Goal – if an activity is unclear you can break it up into smaller goals
2. Feedback – strong feedback loops both positive and negative
3. Challenges matching skills – not too hard not too easy on the edge
4. Concentration – total concentration on the task
5. Focus – all other problems fade away
6. Control – you are on the edge of control
7. Less of self consciousness – you forget yourself and who you are
8. Transformation of time – time either moves slower or faster
