Learn, Enjoy, Flow, & Grow: Using the principles of positive psychology to help find passion and meaning in life

“Learn, Enjoy, Flow & Grow makes a great contribution to our understanding of flow and performance”.
–Dr. Sue Jackson, co-author Flow in Sports.

“Anyone interested in improving themselves and the quality of their lives will relate to this comprehensive and insightful book”.
–Sheelagh Lennon (MIACP), counsellor and psychotherapist.

A must-read book for anyone who is interested in helping themselves or others lead a more meaningful life.

Learn, Enjoy, Flow and Grow is in essence a ‘coaching method’ that can be applied to yourself, or others with whom you work. Ultimately, it is a process of self-development and if you are open to learning and seizing opportunities, throughout your life, then you will give yourself the opportunity to learn, enjoy, flow and grow and, in turn, find more passion and meaning.

In this innovative book, Derek Tate shows you how to be a lifelong learner who exudes passion, who understands how to achieve flow experiences, and who can unlock the full potential that lies inside you.

“Engaging and fascinating”. – Jane Campbell Morrison, MBE, Sailing Coach

He regularly writes blogs for the Parallel Dreams Coaching Academy.
