About the Book

Rather than looking at how lots of different people have experienced flow, Know to Flow is about my own experience of flow across a wide variety of activities. They range from motorcycle riding to Chinese calligraphy but also include 20 years of teaching (plus a few more of doing) yoga.

These experiences by themselves aren't enough to make me an expert on flow. I've spent a lot of time trying to understand flow and its opposite mindstate. And part of that understanding comes from having been an engineer as well as an armorer. In both instances, I've learned to understand the things I was working on and to fix them. How does this relate to the idea of flow? You could think of a problem as a lack or inability to flow. Anytime we have a problem, that's when we need to use our thinking mind (particularly if we don't have the necessary experience or understanding to know what the problem is.) When we solve problems, then we can flow, if we choose.

Going beyond the usual recipes or prerequisites for getting into the flow, this is how an everyday person gets into the flow easily.

This isn't to say that you can't learn from skilled people.

It's to say that anybody can access the flow mindstate and you don't need extreme activities or experiences to get there.

  • You'll learn why habits (and memory) are an essential element of flow.
  • You'll learn how clearly defined ideas make it easy to get into the flow.
  • You'll also learn why being critical is the antithesis of flow.
  • (But there is a time and a place for it).

There's more.

  • You'll learn why being in the flow makes you more responsive.
  • Plus you'll learn how to use your senses and how to adjust your sensitivity while flowing.

And have you ever heard that Bruce Lee talk about "being like water"?

With Know to Flow, you'll learn how you can be like water. (And why you can't be like water in space.)

Plus you'll learn one possible definition for "efficient learning" and how you can make your own learning more efficient.

Hi, I'm Neil Keleher

I’ve been a yoga teacher for about 20 years.

I have a degree in systems design engineering from the University of Waterloo.

Prior to that I served for five years in the British army as an armourer.

As a yoga teacher I teach my students how to feel and control their body. In this context I’m like a driving instructor for your body.

One of my other hats is “indexing specialist”. One of my current ongoing projects under this hat is designing an easy to use indexing system for Chinese characters.
