I'm not saying you know we should all just run off to Italy and learn cooking, but that we should infuse our life with pleasure so that we can provide good role models for our kids.

Yeah, so flow was a term that was developed by a very famous psychologist who I always have trouble pronouncing his name, Cheskon Mahale, I think is how you pronounce his name.

It's that state that we're in where we're not.
Overly challenged or underly challenged, but just blissfully happy.
It's not even that state of writing a paper or something like that, but just that state of where we're really in that sweet spot where we can feel confident and we're being challenged, but just enough.
We need to have the skills so that we can be in that level.

So to move kids from apathy to flow, we've got to have two things to happen.
They need to feel successful in their ability to complete the task.
And they need the environment to challenge them to think.
It's an environment situation and also a skill situation.
