Episode 168: The How of Happiness Increasing Flow Experiences

In this episode, we explore a powerful and fun way to boost your happiness—by living in the present through flow and savoring. This is the 8th episode in the series following Dr. Sonja Lubomirski’s book, The How of Happiness. 

You’ll learn what “flow” really means, how to create it in your daily life, and why it’s one of the most effective ways to feel more fulfilled, engaged, and joyful—whether at work, at home, or in your free time.

Drawing from the groundbreaking research of psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, we dive into how flow helps us operate at our best, the importance of balancing challenge and skill, and how to find deeper meaning even in routine activities. We also cover practical ways to invite more flow into your conversations, leisure time, and professional life—plus, why savoring the process matters more than chasing the end goal.

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What the state of flow is and why it’s so enjoyable
• How to find the right balance between challenge and skill
• Why flow leads to more happiness and fulfillment
• How to create “microflow” moments in everyday tasks
• Ways to bring flow into your conversations and leisure time
•  How your perspective on work can shift your experience of it
