Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

I'm enjoying a great book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Flow has some great insights into what makes for the enjoyable and rewarding times in our life. The book examines the process for achieving happiness through control over one's inner world. Not surprisingly adventure plays a role in creating happiness. Although Csikszentmihalyi does not (at least so far in the book) explicity use the work adventure, he observes that by accomplishing meaningful challenges, whether primarily physical, mental or social, we achieve states where we are both focused and happily engaged. I hope that in building Tuscan River we succeed in creating an environment that provides meaningful adventures with the Parks and inspires people to take on desired challenges outside those properties.
