Achieving a State of Flow in a World full of Walls
How can we learn to deal with our experiences?
How does our past influence us?

What is our purpose?
This book seeks to answer these questions, illustrating the research conducted with the author’s personal experiences. Amazingly, all answers seem to be connected to one principle: the ancient Greek saying of ‘Panta Rhei’ – that life is ever-flowing and ever-changing. Divided into four parts, ‘Flow’ is both a theoretical framework and a practical approach to understanding and embracing life’s challenges, from dealing with past traumas to finding one’s true purpose and identity.
