“To have a good life, it is not enough to remove what is wrong with it,’ Mihaly has explained. ‘We also need a positive goal; otherwise why keep going?’ In our normal lives, many of us try to seek relief from distraction simply by crashing – we try to recover from a day of overload by collapsing in front of the TV. But if you only break away from distraction into rest – if you don’t replace it with a positive goal you are striving towards – you will always be pulled back to distraction sooner or later. The more powerful path out of distraction is to find your flow.”
