Review: The Evolving Self, by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Last year in the doldrums of my first semester of law school, I began to understand why law school is hard. Time. No concept is so difficult that, without sufficient time, anybody cannot make heads or tails of the ideas behind the law, or at least how the law works. Once I understood that rule of the game, I sought ways to improve how I use my time. Not just time management. I thought of movies that had depicted the state of being I sought to emulate. Spotlight’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5cFVN_A4Co" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">scene</a> where the Boston Globe reporters scour old church directories searching for bad apples. The King’s Speech’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WJts0gKCRM" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">reel</a> of Lionel and Bertie slowly but steadily overcoming a life-long stammer. The Imitiation Game’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvppZNe6jAQ" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">scenes</a> depicting an engrossed Alan Turing on the verge of invention that could tilt the outcome of world war. Listen to any one of those movies’ scores, and you’ll find each composer telling the same story. <a href="https://arijonahmeyersspitzer.medium.com/review-the-evolving-self-by-mihaly-csikszentmihalyi-233a9eea46f9">Website</a>
