Useful and Insightful for Business Performance

[Sunil]

The distinctions discussed by Dr. Csikszentmihalyi are valuable even in the world of business today:

a. The distinction of challenge vs. skill: is pertinent to the development of management and employees as well as future leaders: we want to build people up so that they are neither burnt out or bored.

b. This book gives a human and humane way to explore what makes us happy in running or executing a business; since the brain is at the 'heart' of all that we do, it would make sense to evaluate our plans and goals in the light of our psychological factors as well. The section on autotelic experiences is invaluable for people looking to create more balance in their work and personal lives.

Recommend: for business owners: read this and outline the ideas that can be applied to your business.
Business coaches: understand and study in more detail the distinctions and practices suggested.
