180-degree rotational ambigram for “Flow” by Punya Mishra
The next article in our series Rethinking Technology & Creativity in the 21st Century just got published by the journal TechTrends. This article features Susan Perry, social psychologist, author (of both non-fiction and fiction), and blogger. Specifically the article focuses on her research on flow, creativity, writing, and thinking. As she said in the interview:
Flow is highly conducive for creativity to flourish. It happens when you’re sufficiently challenged to stay engaged in a task, but not so frustrated by your inability to accomplish the task that you become anxious and quit. You forget yourself, time changes or stops for you, and you feel part of something larger than yourself.
This idea of being part of “something larger than yourself,” in a sense transcending the self, is an insight that Dr. Perry emphasizes and discusses in multiple contexts—writing, teaching and learning. Read the complete article for yourself:
