Maybe I need to hear it again, but towards the end of the book, I was really getting annoyed with the book. I have read the text version of this book a couple of times and it is very good. However this is not, as claimed an unabridged version of the book. It is a talk by the author that covers the same subject matter and ideas but, in my opinion not as well or as comprehensively as the written text.
The narration by the author is a prime example of why authors aren't always the best people to narrate an audio version of their book. Maybe his slightly unclear diction would have been more understandable and enjoyable to listen to if the recording and production values were good. But they are not, it is a noisy 'dirty', echoing recording. If you are unable to read a text version of the book then go ahead with this because the underlying ideas are worth hearing.
Some of the information in this book is useful and the ideas have informed a lot of other peoples work so for that reason I would try another book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi but I would research its audio quality better first. This book actually seems to be a collected series of talks and the talks would appear to be fairly old with relatively poor quality audio recording. The element that really does this book a disservice though is not so much the narration, as regardless of their voice I tend to enjoy the original author reading their own work, but that the audio quality has been accepted and that the production is flooded with awful chinzy music that wouldn't be amiss in a 's school video aimed at educating you about oxbow lake formation or something similar.
Personally I'd recommend checking out some more recent work that is formed off of some of the points raised in this work or getting the physical book to read unless you have a high tolerance to cut through some pretty awful audio production for some information that is in the modern context not overly unique.
The concept is brilliant The narrative is confused One long monologue Not enough on how! Very interesting to clearly be able to see all the potential for flow in the interwoven complexities of our lives.
One of the most life changing books I've ever read. Really makes you think about your life and what you can do to make the most of the everyday. You can't change everything but you can live with more 'flow'. Enjoyed the content and the presentation. The reader is very believable. It makes Flow easy to understand. It is illustrated in various ways with examples from other peoples lives.
I used it to identify the flow in my life so that I can further build and enhance my enjoyment. It explains what you need to do to get flow in a simplified way that appears easy to follow and is easy to relate to your own situation to develop goals, skills and focus.
I enjoyed it so much that I have spent all of my Saturday listening to it. This book should be listened to everyone. Mihaly shares such powerful insights in his speech. I am happy that I found it. I have dyslexia so I consume hundreds of books in audio form. I can safely say this is by far the worst narration I have ever experienced. Many of the words were mispronounced to the point where it wasn't even clear what was being said. On top of that it felt extremely boring, the narrator was rambling rather than reading in a concise and to the point way.
Considering the content being discussed, the fact that it is so poorly structured and delivered made me lose faith in anything being said. I don't normally do bad reviews but this was actually terrible. If the author ever reads this review: Please, pay a professional narrator to read the book properly so that the information can be understood. I can forgive a bad book, but not a bad delivery. Great book, simple and straight to the point.
Music interruptions are annoying as hell though. Great information but the program can become dull and hard to listen to at times, which has more to do with the tape quality sound rather than the presentation itself being boring. This book makes we wish I had never given any other book 5 stars. This is by far the best book I have ever read.
This should be a compulsory read for every single human being. Sound quality is good. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi puts in words how to achieve enjoyment and happiness in everything we do in your life, placing in our hands the control of our destiny or, at least, how we can face it in a bearable way. Even more, how can we change it by changing out attitudes towards everything we do. This books goes beyond outlining flow's concept to enunciating the author's thoughtful view of life. Lots of good insight from who seems a very authentic introspective person.
Content-wise i was expecting more. Delivery wise I think the voice was very monotonous to the point of boredom, Maybe if the author hired a voice artist the message would have been more effective. Even though I have found some ideas interesting but overall it was a waste of my time,. Must read for everyone. Does have a reasonably strong accident but I love hearing books read by the authors.
All of the points made are backed by actual research. Takes you through the steps of a joyful existence, comparing all walks of life to be as enjoyful as each other, just a matter of internal perspective.
