How the pioneering co-founder of the field of positive psychology can help us navigate our increasingly complicated world

Over the years since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi first published *Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience,*the field of positive psychology has become a rigorous, evidence-based discipline. Dr. Csikszentmihalyi's pioneering work on "flow," a state in which one is completely absorbed in a task or activity, continues to make lasting, positive impacts on individuals, groups, organizations, and societies around the world.

In Flow 2.0, authors Stewart I. Donaldson and Matthew Dubin show us how their colleague's and mentor's contributions can be extended to improve our lives in 2024 and beyond. With an accessible and engaging narrative, the authors share what they have learned about flow over two decades of empirical research and provide a new framework designed to help us be fully engaged in our lives and flourish in complex and dynamic environments.

Seven concise chaptersexplore ways the world has changed since the concept of flow was first developed, introduce the basics of flow and optimal experience, examine how we in our complex social and work lives, identify the essential role of flow in the PERMA+4 framework for work-related well-being and performance, and more.

Addressing modern life contexts such as the hybrid world of work and the increasingly digital future of society, Flow 2.0: Optimal Experience in a Complex World is a must-read for all those seeking to improve their own lives and the lives of those around them.
