Synopsis
Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's famous investigations of "optimal experience" have revealed that what makes an experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow. During flow, people typically experience deep enjoyment, creativity, and a total involvement with life. In this new edition of his groundbreaking classic work, Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates the way this positive state can be controlled, not just left to chance. "Important. . . .

- s***o (326)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item’s appearance is much better than I expected. The physical condition is exactly as described in the listing. In my honest opinion, the quality of this item makes this the perfect addition to my collection. The value of this transaction was increased due to the seller’s prompt responses in securely packaging and shipping the item. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase this! I recommend this seller and I’ve added the seller to my Follow List.
- t***e (93)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseDescription of 'like new' was accurate, book arrived a couple of days ahead of estimated date, and it arrived in a slightly padded envelope but no damage was on the book. The price was a little high for a book that's 2 years old, but cheaper than what I found elsewhere. I would buy from this seller again.
- d***m (16)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe manga came just as described by Big River Books and I am overall very happy with it. One thing that really impressed me was the way, the team handled some issues/false tracking info, which was 100% caused by errors on my and the delivering company's side. They handled the situation with utmost patience and were very customer orientated, which I do not take for granted, considering the circumstances.
