I haven't read Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi but I still remember a lot of his thesis from studying for my philosophy finals. His interpretation of self-fulfillment is definitely inspiring.

I absolutely loved the Daily Rituals book! I find everyone else's routines so interesting :)
ReplyDelete17. Thinking fast & slow - just finished! very dense book, you need a lot of concentration to absorb all the interesting findings about how our mind works. I started reading it on my way to work but had to stop because I needed a quiet place and more time to focus entirely on the book.

ReplyDeleteI liked that one a lot too, but Steal Like an Artist and Ignore Everybody were my favourites.
ReplyDeleteA lot of these are quite dense.. I prefer the more relaxed, personal books to be honest.
