Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Isabella Selega Csikszentmihalyi, "Optimal Experience: Psychological Studies of Flow in Consciousness" English | 1992 | ISBN: 0521438098 | EPUB | pages: 432 | 22.3 mb What constitutes enjoyment of life? Optimal Experience: Psychological Studies of Flow in Consciousness offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical and empirical investigations of the "flow" experience, a desirable or optimal state of consciousness that enhances a person's psychic state. "Flow" can be said to occur when people are able to meet the challenges of their environment with appropriate skills, and accordingly feel a sense of well-being, a sense of mastery, and a heightened sense of self-esteem. The authors show the diverse contexts and circumstances in which flow is reported in different cultures (e.g. Japan, Korea, Australia, Italy), and describe its positive emotional impacts. They reflect on the concept of flow vis-à-vis modern social structures, historical phenomena, and evolutionary biocultural selection. The ways in which the ability to experience flow affects work satisfaction, academic success, and the overall quality of life are suggested; and the childrearing practices that result in the ability to derive enjoyment from life, considered.

Alexander Khalifman, "Opening for White According to Kramnik 1.nf3 " English | ISBN: 9548782499 | 2006 | 308 pages | PDF | 16 MB The first volume of the extremely popular series "Opening for White According to Kramnik" was published in 2000. Now 14th world champion Alexander Khalifman presents the audience with two entirely new books.Volume 1a covers the Old Indian Defence, Anti-Gruenfeld, and less popular lines of the King's Indian Defence. The first part of the book analyses 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 d6 3.d4, where Black delays the development of his bishop to g7, or prepares it for another deployment altogether, for example after e7-e5 and Bf8-e7. These opening set-ups have long had the reputation of being solid, but with not so good prospects for Black. The second part deals with 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 where Black follows up with 3d5. Thus he emphasizes that he does not intend to play the KID and he invites his opponent to enter the main lines of the Gruenfeld Defence. White counters however with 4.Qa4+!? facing the opponent with difficult problems while turning the Gruenfeld out of question. In the third part of this book Khalifman begins to analyze the King's Indian Defence, starting with some currently offbeat lines. Its main and most fashionable variations are so complex and strategically independent that Khalifman singled them out in the separate volume 1b.
