Flow

Published by under Uncategorized

An interesting book that takes 300 plus pages to describe what it probably could do in 20.  The basic idea, you are happiest when you are involved or imersed in what you are doing.  It then gives loads of examples of how this can happen in sports, music, work etc.  Not the most practical book on the subject of happiness and it seems to neglect lots of things in pursuit of the Flow concept.  For example it does not talk at all about the effect on happiness of advertising, too much choice, not living in the moment etc.

My symptoms log.

Published by under Main

I have posted the Excel spreadsheet that I use to log and chart my symptoms.  I have left some real data in it of the last flare that I had because it might be useful for people to compare their experience.  The spreadsheet might be useful for other people as well, at least as a template or as an example to stimulate ideas.  I have found the charts very useful to review with my doctors as we have something concrete to discuss, rather than just subjective, I feel grotty.
