After reading "The Stream of Life", I occasionally read the best-selling book "Discover Traffic" I bought two years ago. I feel very much in line with the mentality of quietly isolating the epidemic at present, so I finished reading it in one breath.
As a psychologist, the author's creative thinking comes from the background of the rapid development of the United States in the 1960 s and 1990 s, which is very close to the present situation of our time. After the material shortage is gradually eliminated, psychological happiness is gradually valued by individuals and families.
"Set a goal, use your mind and open up the potential of happiness" is the author's original intention, and the theme of the book "Flow Experience" is: harmony between mind, mind and mind, concentration, harmony and smoothness of mind. Translators also try to combine the traditional culture of China, so that readers can deeply immerse themselves in it, and gain the floating experience of losing time.
The idea and logic of this book is that the experience of quality of life comes from the time allocation and input of work, maintaining health and survival, leisure (production, maintenance and leisure), and the time allocation of the corresponding three social forms (stranger communication, family communication and personal loneliness).
The conclusion with high probability is that personal life depends largely on gender, age and social status. Interactive interpersonal relationships can improve the quality of life, and interpersonal relationships with consistent goals and mutual concern are good and positive. Leisure is not happier than work, and work can also be interesting, such as creative and dedicated work. Passive leisure (no thinking, no concentration, passive participation) can not increase the fun of life, and active leisure (reading, thinking and creating) can achieve self-enjoyment.
Finally, the conclusion of this book is that only by knowing yourself, managing time and setting goals can we experience flow experience and happiness.
After reading the Stream of Life, I finally read this not-so-heavy Stream of Life in one breath, and I felt a lot.
This is a book that teaches us how to live and how to find happiness. Obviously, each of us has individual differences. There is no denying that everyone's family background and growing environment have a great influence on his life, but choosing a happy life still depends on his own autonomy.
The focus of this book is "flow", which is what we call inspiration. Strangely, however, when we relax and watch TV or surf the Internet, we get little traffic and feeling. But when we pick up a pen to work or study, we get the maximum flow. The reason is that we set clear goals and focus on what we do. What kind of person you will be shaped into is ultimately influenced by the goals you pursue. If a person lacks a consistent goal, he will be half-hearted and difficult to carry out from beginning to end. There is no doubt that some people are really talented in some ways. They are very sensitive to music and numbers, but if they want to be real musicians and mathematicians, they need to constantly put their energy into practice. This reminds me of "deliberate practice".
Learn to relax after work and life. Generally speaking, our leisure focuses on TV and surfing the Internet. In fact, we also have our own hobbies, such as music and sports. But these hobbies require us too much preparation time, so we often choose TV in a short time, which is "passive leisure". Passive leisure doesn't require us to spend too much energy and is not challenging, so it's easy, but at the same time it won't get much fun. Too much passive leisure can also make us feel relaxed and unable to concentrate. Therefore, in our daily leisure, we should cultivate our hobbies. Even with great efforts, I have gained great fun and cultivated my healthy leisure style.
In our life, after work and leisure, we are all socializing. Man is a gregarious animal. We need the company of family and friends. We need someone to share our happiness and pain. Social activities bring us the greatest happiness. People with depression are often normal when they are in contact with the outside world, but when they are alone, they will trigger their inner fears. Therefore, communicating with people will touch our hearts and make us feel happier.
After watching The Stream of Life, everyone wants their life to be happy. What is happiness? How to seek happiness? After reading the book The Flow of Life, I realized that when I was happy, the feeling of completely forgetting me, such as being in a good state, came from the moment I got the "flow experience".
I remember a philosopher said that "the world is not short of beauty, only the eyes that find it". Although there are a lot of shady scandals in society, it is only a very rare phenomenon. We should believe that society is beautiful, at least it won't abandon us unless you do. When our eyes are cloudy, we might as well open the window of our hearts and experience the world with our heart, and we will find that beauty remains the same. Whether life is happy or not depends on whether you have a normal heart and an optimistic heart. When we observe things, we should observe them with a beautiful attitude and angle, so that we can make different discoveries. The same is true of work. We should work happily and study happily. Treat it with a normal heart and don't have too many ups and downs.
Many thinkers have said that what human beings do is ultimately to pursue happiness. The reason why we pursue wealth, health or fame is to get happiness. However, in the pursuit of happiness, we should straighten our mentality and position, so as to truly appreciate the true meaning of happiness.
Happiness is something that can be understood but cannot be expressed. Happiness should be experienced with your heart. Happiness is not a sarcastic remark or two, but how you really feel about life when you are happy. Different activities will bring different experiences and feelings. If you have been doing something depressing all your life, you can't have a happy life. On the contrary, it is easy to see that everything has both sides, depending on how you treat and face it.
Life circle is a complex social circle, and we can't just live in our own world. Relatives and friends are essential. A good environment will also affect a person's mood. Our mood often changes with the changes of the outside world. Happiness often needs to be created by ourselves. For everyone, the biggest obstacle to a better life is themselves. But if you learn to get along with yourself and refuse the temptation of demand, you will become a friend, a helper and the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. If you can't find a greater and more eternal goal to achieve yourself, it is absolutely difficult to have a really good life.
Love life, have a positive and optimistic attitude, work hard towards your own goals, make your life richer, happiness is simple, and happiness is around. Happy study, happy work, I believe tomorrow will be better.
What is the "stream of life"? The author hickson Mihaly is a psychologist, that is, he first put forward the concept of "flow". In fact, flow refers to the state in which people are absorbed in one thing. When heart flow occurs, people can concentrate, have no distractions, or even forget the existence of time, but they get great satisfaction in the process.
How can we get this simple and high-quality satisfaction? Harry gave the reader a very interesting answer: cultivate and have at least one long-term hobby. Immerse yourself in hobbies that fascinate you, such as infatuation, and give time meaning and joy. This is the role of flow.
The book also mentions a thought-provoking concept of balancing time. We should balance our time. The time we need to slow down is time with family and friends, time for self-reflection, time for preparing for a challenging task, time for thinking about important life decisions, time for creative activities and so on. And the time we need to get up quickly is housework, quarrels that are doomed to fail to reach a consensus, and physical labor such as the purchase of daily necessities.
Sometimes we tend to focus only on the present and forget that if we look at things in a different time dimension, that is, with long-term value, it is easy to make short-sighted mistakes. Some things seem extremely important to us now, but in five years, ten years, twenty years, and so on. Time will be dull and unforgettable, and the most painful scars will eventually scar. Therefore, we should look at the past, present and future in a balanced way, live a good life in the present with a serious attitude, and connect the past and the future with "reflection and summary of the past" and "forward-looking perspective of the future".
After reading Stream of Life, I feel that every chapter will bring me new feelings. At first, I didn't know much about many things. Only by reading and thinking repeatedly and combining your own experience can you understand them. I think the essence of the whole book "Stream of Life" lies in what state people find the true meaning of life in complicated daily life; By creating more "flow experiences", we can enjoy life and improve our physical and mental quality. After reading this book, I benefited a lot. The so-called flow of life, in my personal opinion, is the secret of "a lifeless life". The so-called effortless, that is, compared with hard work, smart work, and finally easy work-how to get the greatest possible result with the least time and energy, this is the essence.
For everyone, the biggest obstacle to a better life is yourself, but if you learn to coexist with yourself and refuse the temptation of demand, you will become a friend, helper and the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. People can't move forward without themselves. Most people only reflect on themselves when they are unhappy, thus entering a vicious circle. Under the interactive influence of anxiety and painful memories, they will become more and more conscious and painful. The way to break this cycle is to form the habit of reflecting on life when you are in high spirits and satisfied with life. But a better way is to focus on self-related goals or interpersonal relationships. Once we experience the flow and concrete and objective feedback in complex interaction, it is easy for us to have a positive view of ourselves.
There are many things in life that you have to do but don't want to do. Some things are unavoidable. Even if you are a talented person, you still have to do it. Therefore, you have only two ways to go. One is to do it in a variety of unwilling and complaining ways; One is willing to do it, and the latter is obviously more positive in feeling. You can set goals for the most humble jobs.
Year after year, our experiences are performed according to physiological and cultural scripts. The only way to master life is to learn to synchronize energy and intention and put mental energy into what you want to do. In this way, we can see that another window of our life has been opened again.
Thoughts after reading Stream of Life 6 This is a book that can help build a new spiritual world. In the process of reading this book, many sentences that seem reasonable or interesting at the moment have been extracted, and many new understandings have been added.
First of all, it is the perception of traffic. When will flow occur? When the current business challenges match your technical ability, it is easy to enter the flow state. The experience of flow is not an end, but a process. The purpose of mountaineering is not to climb to the top, but to experience the process of mountaineering.
Secondly, we should do active entertainment and less passive entertainment. Passive entertainment just receives information and doesn't need to take up too much of your attention. In this case, it is difficult to get a traffic experience. Therefore, I think we should try more active entertainment. For me, reading books, playing the piano and reading English are all meaningful and interesting things, so I can adjust my habits and explore the wonderful life.
Finally, flow is actually managing your attention, similar to time management. Managing attention is also managing time. If you focus on what you think is meaningful and interesting, you can improve yourself and explore the unknown, and life will become more and more interesting!
