I have been reading Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's book "Flow" these days. one of the interesting thing I get from this book is pleasure doesn't mean enjoyment. "Pleasure is a feeling of contentment that one achieves whenever information in consciousness says that expectation set by biological programs or by social conditioning have been met...Enjoyment is characterized by this forward movement: by a sense of novelty, of accomplishment." Enjoyment needs your attention (consciousness) involved. When you concentrate on an activity such as a basketball game, you will experience enjoyment since you have a clear goal to win the game and the process to accomplish it. The enjoyment also comes to me when I finish my finals. I will take a look back to my semester and feel accomplished. What do you think?
