Paperback. Zustand: Good. Dip into these pages and join the hero, a fisherman, as he sails off on a voyage of discovery. With wry humour, the author draws the reader into a special world: each of the 69 scenes in the tale is a tableau created out of oddball flea-market finds and staged within an antique fish tank. Arthur Tress took the tank with him on various locations all over America, from beaches to fields, and the reader travels with the intrepid hero as he learns all about the pitfalls of humanity, how to be a better fisherman and at last, how to live and fish in harmony with nature.…

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (born 29 September 1934) is a Hungarian-American psychologist. He recognized and named the psychological concept of flow, a highly focused mental state conducive to productivity. He is the Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management at Claremont Graduate University. He is the former head of the department of psychology at the University of Chicago and of the department of sociology and anthropology at Lake Forest College. Csikszentmihalyi is noted for his work in the study of happiness and creativity, but is best known as the architect of the notion of flow and for his years of research and writing on the topic. He is the author of many books and over 290 articles or book chapters. Martin Seligman, former president of the American Psychological Association, described Csikszentmihalyi as the world's leading researcher on positive psychology. Csikszentmihalyi once said: "Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason." His works are influential and are widely cited. In his seminal work, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Csíkszentmihályi outlines his theory that people are happiest when they are in a state of flow-a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. The idea of flow is identical to the feeling of being in the zone or in the groove. The flow state is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation, where the person is fully immersed in what they are doing. This is a feeling everyone has at times, characterized by a feeling of great absorption, engagement, fulfillment, and skill-and during which temporal concerns (time, food, ego-self, etc.) are typically ignored. In an interview with Wired magazine, Csíkszentmihályi described flow as "being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost." Csikszentmihályi characterized nine component states of achieving flow including "challenge-skill balance, merging of action and awareness, clarity of goals, immediate and unambiguous feedback, concentration on the task at hand, paradox of control, transformation of time, loss of self-consciousness, and autotelic experience" To achieve a flow state, a balance must be struck between the challenge of the task and the skill of the performer. If the task is too easy or too difficult, flow cannot occur. Both skill level and challenge level must be matched and high; if skill and challenge are low and matched, then apathy results. One state that Csikszentmihalyi researched was that of the autotelic personality. The autotelic personality is one in which a person performs acts because they are intrinsically rewarding, rather than to achieve external goals. Csikszentmihalyi describes the autotelic personality as a trait possessed by individuals who can learn to enjoy situations that most other people would find miserable. Research has shown that aspects associated with the autotelic personality include curiosity, persistence, and humility. This book summarizes, for a general audience, decades of research on the positive aspects of human experience--joy, creativity, and the process of total involvement with life that the author calls flow. This book tries to present general principles, along with concrete examples of how some people have used these principles, to transform boring and meaningless lives into ones full of enjoyment. There is no promise of easy short-cuts in these pages. But for readers who care about such things, there should be enough information to make possible the translation from theory to practice.

OPappband, SU. 143 S.; überw. Illustrationen; 28 cm Buch selbst in sehr guter Erhaltung, Einband sauber und unbestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Buchblock fest, Schutzumschlag mit leichten Lagerspuren, Arthur Tress (* 24. November 1940) ist ein US-amerikanischer Fotograf. Er ist bekannt für seinen inszenierten Surrealismus und die Exposition des menschlichen Körpers. Während sie in Frankreich lebte, reiste Tress nach Japan, Afrika, Mexiko und in ganz Europa. Er beobachtete viele abgeschiedene Stämme und Kulturen und war fasziniert von den Rollen, die der Schamane der verschiedenen Gruppen von Menschen spielte. Die Kulturen, in die er eingeführt wurde, würden in seiner späteren Arbeit eine Rolle spielen. Tress verbrachte den Frühling und Sommer 1964 in San Francisco. Er dokumentierte die 1964 Republican National Convention, die Barry Goldwater nominierte, Bürgerrechtsdemonstrationen in getrennten Autohäusern in der Van Ness Avenue und die Welttournee der Beatles 1964. Tress machte über 900 Fotos, die später bis 2009 aufbewahrt wurden, als er einen Stapel Vintage-Drucke wiederentdeckte, während er das Anwesen seiner Schwester nach ihrem Tod organisierte. Die Arbeiten wurden anschließend im de Young Museum in San Francisco ausgestellt. In den späten 1960er Jahren machte er eine Reihe von surrealen Fotografien über Kinderträume, die inszenierte Szenarien verwendeten.[ , Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1280.…
