Flow (psychology)
Concentrating upon a task is one aspect of flow. Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. Proposed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi , the positive psychology concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields. [ 1 ] According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is completely focused motivation . It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate experience in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning .
Motivation is a psychological feature that arouses an organism to act towards a desired goal and elicits, controls, and sustains certain goal directed behaviors. It can be considered a driving force; a psychological drive that compels or reinforces an action toward a desired goal. For example, hunger is a motivation that elicits a desire to eat. Motivation has been shown to have roots in physiological, behavioral, cognitive, and social areas. Motivation may be rooted in a basic impulse to optimize well-being, minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure.

You may be one of those people for whom summer is far too short! But like it or not, most of you only have a few short months to enjoy the great outdoors in most of the continental US. Why waste it dealing with two of the most vexing hassles of the outdoor summer season? After spending six or more months stuck inside from rain, snow and sleet, you can't wait to rush out and spend all day on a Saturday or Sunday in the sun. Not only is the golf course beckoning, but so is yard work, your kids' sporting events, and the grill.

The Somali capital, Mogadishu, has in late March and early April 2007 been witnessing the heaviest fighting and most woeful destruction since the start of the civil war in the early 1990s. A local human-rights organisation recorded nearly 400 deaths and more than 500 people wounded during just four days of fighting between the two sides (in their way more coalitions than single entities): the Ethiopian army, operating in support of Somalia's transitional federal government (TFG), versus Islamic fighters and militias from the city's dominant clan, the Hawiye. The primary victims of the violence are, as so often, civilians.

The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economies, Societies and Nations , published in 2004, is a book written by James Surowiecki about the aggregation of information in groups, resulting in decisions that, he argues, are often better than could have been made by any single member of the group. The book presents numerous case studies and anecdotes to illustrate its argument, and touches on several fields, primarily economics and psychology . The opening anecdote relates Francis Galton 's surprise that the crowd at a county fair accurately guessed the weight of an ox when their individual guesses were averaged (the average was closer to the ox's true butchered weight than the estimates of most crowd members, and also closer than any of the separate estimates made by cattle experts). [ 1 ] The book relates to diverse collections of independently deciding individuals, rather than crowd psychology as traditionally understood.
The Wisdom of Crowds
The study, which SMI conducted together with Procter & Gamble, maps the recent landslide in the consumer goods industry: Until recently, the “best detergent” was the one with the best image, the best cleansing action and the best value for the money. These factors are still significant. However, since consumption is booming, a new aspect has emerged: Consumers are not willing to drive to Edeka or REWE a second time to buy their favourite detergent because it was out-of-stock the first time around.
