“Control of consciousness determines the quality of life.”
― Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
― Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
“To overcome the anxieties and depressions of contemporary life, individuals must become independent of the social environment to the degree that they no longer respond exclusively in terms of its rewards and punishments. To achieve such autonomy, a person has to learn to provide rewards to herself. She has to develop the ability to find enjoyment and purpose regardless of external circumstances.”
― Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
― Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
“If you are interested in something, you will focus on it, and if you focus attention on anything, it is likely that you will become interested in it. Many of the things we find interesting are not so by nature, but because we took the trouble of paying attention to them.”
