The Pathway to Flow

The Pathway to Flow

The New Science of Harnessing Creativity to Heal and Unwind the Body & Mind

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Improve your calm, focus and sense of purpose by harnessing the everyday power of creativity.


If you've ever experienced the blissful feeling of being fully immersed in a project, of ideas come to you naturally, or of getting lost in thought when cooking, playing music, or dancing, then you've accessed the flow state. Sometimes we stumble into it by accident, but what if you could access and unlock the healing properties of the flow state whenever you need it?

For everyone who has ever struggled with writer's block this may sound too good to be true, but Dr. Julia F. Christensen, neuroscientist and former ballerina, taps into cutting-edge science, research and case studies from everyday people to show us how we can use the arts to alter our emotional state, tap into our ability to focus, release our creativity and improve our overall wellbeing. Using ancient solutions to solve modern problems, Pathway to Flow will show how to harness the flow state at will through seven simple steps and build a routine that will help you be more calm, focused and creative.

Reviews

  • Fascinating, engaging, fun, astonishing and absolutely delightful! I enjoyed every minute of this fabulous book. I learned a lot, both about the science of flow and its relation to the arts, but also about writing well.
