Summary:

"Insightful and engaging! ... this book hits the mark with powerful techniques for living a more fulfilled life."Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach, and New York Times bestselling author of The Earned Life, and What Got You Here Won't Get You There What if you could live your life in flow? Being in flow is when you are 'in the zone', 'on your game', or even 'on fire'. This is both a mental state and a physical one. You have a feeling of complete focus, full involvement and deep enjoyment in whatever you are doing. You feel the activity takes no energy from you - indeed you feel that it is giving you energy. You barely notice the passage of time. You feel calm but almost ecstatic.Most of us have glimpsed being in this state. But what if you could be in your zone not just for a moment of flow, nor merely for a day, but always and forever?Max Landsberg, best-selling author whose previous titles have sold more than a million copies, reveals how we can live in a state of flow all the time. He shows how to achieve this, based on the enduring wisdom of Daoist principles and practice. "One of the best books I have read on personal development and growth ... I am sending copies to my friends and CEO contacts."André Andonian, Board Chair, CEO coach, and former Managing Partner of McKinsey in Korea and Japan.
