Work as Flow - chapter 7

This week's discussion of "flow" ("On the Same Page") is led by straight-shooting coach, Amy Steindler. I can't help but love Amy's candor as she lets us know Mihaly Csikzsentmihalyi's writing style isn't exactly her favorite. Nevertheless, she magically teases out the jewels of this chapter which discusses how to find flow in your work. It's brilliant!

In the meantime, I'm on vacation this week and look forward to checking back in when I return. "Flow" and I are heading to the beach for one final blast of summer!!
