Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Creativity, fulfillment and flow

The Favorite! his books are amazing! they are really worth to read them!
(He has hungarian roots :D )

You mean "My favorite".

That is a really great 'mandate'...
I enter flow in many if not most of the activities I engage in... I wonder if everyone just has a different tendency or if it is actually a skill that can be learned?

This bit rate has implications for how we work together as well. Herbert Simon won the 1979 Nobel Prize in economics for his Theory of Bounded Rationality. This theory describes strategies such as values, beliefs, etc. that people use to make sense of a world that generates more information than 110 bits per second.

The brain is a great at recognizing patterns, so the 110 bits per second accumulate over time. It seems to take about 10 years of diligent work to accumulate enough bits to achieve creative mastery.

The bit rate per second comes from Shannon's information theory. This theory quantifies the number of bits per second over a noisy channel. It computes the download speed of your internet connection, among others. A good conceptual book is "Introduction to information theory" by Pierce, which is available for about $6.

I really agree with the flow theory
