The Evolving Self

I have finally finished The Evolving Self by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I loved it! It is evangelical science. Its thesis is that our genetically programmed responses to desire leisure, and ease are not actually the sources of pleasure and are in fact sources of individual discontent as well as detrimental to the environment, society and the world. His solution is to work towards complexity at every choice, by choosing options that are and offer diversity and integration in all aspects of life. And that by choosing complex and rewarding options for our personal lives we have the opportunity to create harmony around us.

He suggests that evolution for the next millennium will be a conscientious choice, not an impulse of instinct.

I am very interested in his idea at the end of the book in creating "evolutionary cells," groups that are interested in researching, collaborating, and acting in complex, diverse and integrated ways. Anyone interested?
