I love this novel, and revisiting this passage is quite thought-provoking. And it makes me smile ;)

Your past few posts, including this one, really make me want to recommend the book “Flow, the psychology of optimal experience” to you. The main idea of the book is that when we’re over-challenged, we’re anxious; when we’re under-challenged, we’re bored. When we’re challenged just the right amount, we are focused, absorbed, and so happy. Because challenge helps us *order our consciousness*.

Just like a professor and a curriculum….
