In this episode, Rod and Lesley pick up the conversation on happiness by diving into the concept of flow (see Episodes 7 & 8 for parts 1 & 2). Think of 'being in the zone', or the times when you get so absorbed in what you are doing that you lose track of time. That is flow. According to the researcher who developed it (Mihaly Csikszentmihályi), it is in flow states that we are the most happiest. Since much of the books/research/thinking on how to make changes to our lives to increase happiness refer to this concept, it is worthwhile to spend a little time on it. As is their modus operandi, Rod and Lesley give a realistic view on what practically people can do to build this in their day to day.
As an aside, Rod reflects on Lesley pushing the bird out of the nest by sharing this podcast to her network. Welcome listeners!
