Ice Friday: Ned Hallowell’s “Flow”

“To reach flow,” explains psychiatrist Ned Hallowell, “one must be willing to take risks. The lover must be willing to risk rejection to enter this state. The athlete must be willing to risk physical harm, even loss of life, to enter this state.IMG_3366 “The artist must be willing to be scorned and despised by critics and the public and still push on. And the average person must be willing to fail, look foolish should we wish to enter this state.”*
