Unscramble the Blue Letters


ccinetnoon refers to having a special shared experience, and I do think some people can have fun on their own, as I say in my TED Talk. But it was really interesting because most of the sorteis people told me involved other pepole. And when I asked people, "What surprised you about what you just told me?" A number of people said something along the lines of “I’m an introvert, but everything I just told you ivonlevd other people." So in the majority of situations, another preosn is involved.

And then flow is this psychological state where we get so wareppd up in what we're doing, actively engaged in what we're doing that we can lose track of time. So an athlete playing a game is the most quintessential example.

Original Text


Connection refers to having a special shared experience, and I do think some people can have fun on their own, as I say in my TED Talk. But it was really interesting because most of the stories people told me involved other people. And when I asked people, "What surprised you about what you just told me?" A number of people said something along the lines of “I’m an introvert, but everything I just told you involved other people." So in the majority of situations, another person is involved.

And then flow is this psychological state where we get so wrapped up in what we're doing, actively engaged in what we're doing that we can lose track of time. So an athlete playing a game is the most quintessential example.
