The answer may lie in people's perceptions of happiness One of the reasons we have such a problem with happiness is that many confuse it with a Ife untouched by anxiety, rage, doubt and sadness. The belief that happiness means that nothing ever goes wrong is naive, in order to be happy, we must know not how to avoid disturbing events, but how fo deal with ther The key to coping with ifs unpleasant aspects, while remaining content, comes from an everyday practice which Minaly Csikszentiminalyi calls “the flow’. He describes “the flow’ as the state one is in when doing something completely absorbing. It comes when one is pushed right up to the limit of one’s abilty, but not beyond it. ‘People can get feeling of flow from dangerous sports like mountain climbing or driving fast,” he says “but it can also come from Something relaxing like painting or reading a good book." The point is thal it's an activity you do for the pleasure of doing it You are not looking for praise or reward. What is important, is to keep your brain busy if you want to be hhapay. The professor explains, “If you leave someone on their own with nothing specific to do, most oftheir thoughts wil be worries.” People tend to think about all the things they want and haven't got rather than how good their life is. It seems the key to happiness lies in having an active and challenging lifestyle.
