Meeting the reader where they are empowers them to start building strategies to achieve the mindset. I enjoyed this book and will apply some of the concepts presented.

This book is for anyone that wants to understand the flow and educate themselves about it. This will elevate your game.

When I was younger I had consistent experiences of flow. Now that I’m older I had forgotten about those moments until recently. I was training hard and some home I let go and got into flow. I did not understand how. This book taught me the essence of flow and how to achieve it. Now I know what I must do to re-experience flow again.

When it comes to sports the physical aspect is where so many people focus on but the mental aspect, getting into the flow state is where you will go from good to great and this book will help you get there!

I am not an athlete, but I am very interested in flow and I find learning about it through an athletic lens helps me apply the information to my own activities and context. This book is very well done, and I found the author’s “voice” enjoyable and engaging.
