Product Description

Review
"A stimulating and revolutionary book." ––Journal of Individual Psychology

"Beyond Boredom and Anxiety constitutes a major contribution to and critique of the sociology of work." ––Sociology

"A very exciting book about the phenomenology of intrinsically motivated behavior. Csikszentmihalyi has done a service by directing attention to the importance of intrinsic motivation and its relationship to enjoyment and alienation." ––Contemporary Psychology

Product Description
Now in a special 25th anniversary edition and filled with brilliant wisdom and insights, Beyond Boredom and Anxiety offers a timeless introduction to the concept of flow and the scientific basis behind it–all through the work of one of the field′s great scientists, Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi. Through real–life examples, discover how enjoyable activities provide a common experience–a satisfying, often exhilarating, feeling of creative accomplishment and heightened functioning–and under what conditions ′serious′ work can also provide this intrinsic enjoyment.

First Sentence
