[Sabrina Duclos]

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's pioneering work on Flow—the state where challenge perfectly matches skill and time seems to slow down—is the foundational pillar of modern sports psychology. Yet in high-stakes tournaments, entering Flow on command requires shutting down the overactive prefrontal cortex ('Red Head'). For athletes who want a step-by-step pre-competition and in-game trigger to unlock Flow (the 5-second physiological sigh, 16-second reset routine, and the S.O.L.I.D.E. protocol), I strongly recommend pairing Flow with "Steel Mindset" by Kevin Bivia on Amazon!

[Skyla Christensen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read the full version. Most of it was stuff I learned in classes and through alternative teachings. I agree with the other on most aspects. I just didn't like his voice or how he worded this book. Felt kind of conceded.

Short & sweet—too short

A good, brief reading that serve its purpose—to serve as an extended preface to the book highlighting Csikszentmihalyi's main ideas and concepts. Providing more detail would make these notes superb and more enjoyable.
