March 10, 2011: Tim: Satisfaction and Joy at Work!

     Tim has worked in industrial psychology and understands what workers need at the workplace and how they need to view their work in order to be happy there. He now is teaching the necessary elements to students at MSOE. Today at our meeting Tim provided the handouts he uses to outline steps that can make us all happier at work. He uses a lot of Mihalyi Csikczentmihalyi' principles outlined in several of his books starting with one eentitled simply "Flow". The hand out from Tim will be posted on this website when available.

Aug 19, 2010 "Flow"

     On this date, Tim presented an article from Psychology Today, (http://www.psychologytoday.com/). We read this article which is a summary from Finding Flow by Mihalyi Csikczentmihalyi. 1997. We read through this article in parts. As is usual for the group we read about 1/3 to 1/2 of the article. You may access the complete article at http://www.psychologytoday.com/node/25074
