FLOW An interesting book that takes 300 plus pages to describe what it probably could do in 20.  The basic idea, you are happiest when you are involved or imersed in what you are doing.  It then gives loads of examples of how this can happen in sports, music, work etc.  Not the most practical book on the subject of happiness and it seems to neglect lots of things in pursuit of the FLOW concept.  For example it does not talk at all about the effect on happiness of advertising, too much choice, not living in the moment etc. 10:42:23 AM      comment [] The JOY of Working from Home A little book that concentrates mainly on opportunities for working from home.  If you already have a job and are looking to work from home then its not so appropriate.  But it does give a few hints on issues you might face working from home like feelings of isolation etc.  Not my best find on the subject.  In fact I would recommend te following web site as an alternative to any of the books I have read: http://www.flexibility.co.uk/index.htm 10:38:20 AM      comment []
