About the Book

The author of Flow shows us how to overcome our evolutionary heritage in order to re-create ourselves for the next milennium. He explains that we must recognize that there is a common good—and only by transcending our biological and social programming can we achieve it—becoming in the process, complex and integrated individuals.
