What's the difference between the humdrum of everyday life and being in the zone or, as the University of Chicago would have it, in Flow?

The extra in extraordinary is simply down to turning up. You need to turn up to your life right here, right now.

And that requires training: meditation is the training. Meditation develops mindfulness: that's the turning up. But turning up to what? Or, more to the point, turning up for what? What do you want out of life? What's your purpose?

I would suggest that you neither need to have or no a grand purpose - you will discover it when you turn up to your life. Or, actually, it will manifest itself to you.

That's why this podcast exhorts you to just let go - to get out of your own way - to let yourself flow simply doing what you've decided is best for you to do today, now.
