Arguing that the human brain is most happy when engaged in the meaningful pursuit of a goal - anything from sport to learning a language, from enjoyable work to practising music - he demonstrates that the need to concentrate and lose yourself in the moment is the key to finding inner peace, happiness and order in the midst of our chaotic lives. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Country Of Origin | India | | Dimensions | 13.5 x 2.5 x 21.7 cm | | Edition | 1st | | Importer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Isbn 10 | 0712657592 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0712657594 | | Item Weight | 322 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Print Length | 320 pages | | Publication Date | 1 August 2002 | | Publisher | Rider | ## Images ![Flow: The Psychology of Happiness - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y8H+AnOQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Last Book I Have Read In 2019 *by on Reviewed in India 17 December 2019* "Happiness" is a word, rather a topic, which is regarded a taboo among the broader community of Psychology.Seems strange, right?For too long psychology, as a practical subject, had been focused almost exclusively on the "shadowy" attributes of human existence. Unhappiness, sadness, depression, disorder, stress, distress, dysfunction, sorrow, hopelessness, melancholia...these are some sought after words/topics which are readily available in any random conversation or contemplation based on psychology. Our society actually depends on psychology to discover theories and remedies on these aforementioned topics, as we perceived till now.But Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did an academic somersault by writing a book keeping in mind a word rarely adored by a psychologist: Happiness! How to achieve happiness is the central theme of this classic work and Csikszentmihalyi has done a miracle. It has touched a nerve in the collective psyche by introducing the phenomenon of "Flow" which is fundamentally a state of joy, creativity and total involvement, that can be experienced by any random human being, and the writer demonstrates how.Read this book to achieve an exhilarating feeling of transcendence (not in a metaphysical sense), a positive direction to make life worthwhile.Highly recommended. This is so much more than a mere "Self-help" treatise. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What to learn how to optimize your Happiness? Go for it... *by on Reviewed in India 14 September 2015* Flow: The Classic Work on How to Achieve Happiness by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi might sound like another mundane self-help guaranteeing happiness to all its readers. But it is not, luckily. This is a pop-psychology for lay person with minimum scholarly jargons (You will find terms like "Optimal Experience", "Psychic Energy", "Psychic entropy". But don’t be alarmed; it easy to understand once you get started) on how happiness/flow can be achieved based on Mihaly’s research. The core idea of the book is simple (not easy or difficult); people achieve happiness/flow/optimal experience when engaged in challenging activities and constantly strive to improve their skills.And the overall wellbeing /happiness of the individuals depend on the view he/she takes on his condition and challenges. I have a penchant towards stoic philosophy. Call it "baader-meinhof phenomenon". To me some of the ideas in this book appear very similar to stoic philosophy. The author also quotes a number of Stoic philosophers like Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius to support his study’s conclusion.There are number of ideas presented the books are fascinating; particularly on how to create an autotelic self is very interesting. Overall, it is a fascinating read on how happiness can be achieved. It one of the important books I have read this year. Highly recommended ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST READ FOR UNDERSTANDING LIFE *by on Reviewed in India 29 October 2025* I was initially a little apprehensive but this book is amongst the best that I have ever read and yup I have indeed read a few ## Frequently Bought Together - Flow: The Classic Work on How to Achieve Happiness, with a new Introduction by the author - Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) - Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life (Masterminds Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/64664148-flow-the-psychology-of-happiness](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/64664148-flow-the-psychology-of-happiness) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
