NOTES
Title from title frames
Turn to the 2,000-year-old Hindu Bhagavad Gita to study the roles played by our desires and expectations, and why we are so often disappointed in our lives. But how could we live without desire and expectations? One path provided by the Gita, being so absorbed in an activity that we lose our sense of self, leads to the experience we know of today as “flow.”
