Optimal Living: Insights From Flow Theory
What does it mean to live optimally? Is there any difference between self actualization and self-transcendence? Do peak performances and peak experiences differ? The last question was asked yesterday by Scott Barry Kaufman on twitter and it got me thinking. I've been thinking a lot lately about the potential utility of distinguishing peak experiences from peak performance. I don't think they are necessarily the same thing. Some peak experiences are so wondrous experientially but don't necessarily elevate our "performance". Thoughts?— Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D. (@sbkaufman) July 12, 2020 ...

How resilience is typically operationalised, in terms of outcome, is whether the individual survives the acute trauma/stressor and/or chronic stress and still remains psychopathology free. If he doesn’t then he is non resilient, but if he indeed remains free of negative outcomes then he is resilient. Sometimes, very rarely, in case of...

Now let me propose a radical fourth network for the same, but before I do that I want to clear some misconceptions about attention. Way back in 2009 I had blogged and elaborated on a couple of posts that attention allocation and action selection utilized the same mechanisms and were conceptually similar; at that time I was not much aware of the Posner et al model of attention. Today I want to go further and claim that attention processes are in...
