Erik --
If I may add two more books by Csikzentmihaly to your list:
"The Meaning of Things: Domestic Symbols and the Self" by Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi and Eugene Halton
As Amazon says, "The meaning of things is a study of the significance of
material possessions in contemporary urban life. and of the ways people
carve meaning out of their domestic environment." More here
http://www.amazon.com/Meaning-Things-Domestic-Symbols-Self/dp/052128774X/ref=la_B000AQ1KVM_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1355190843&sr=1-5
and
"The Art of Seeing: An Interpretation of the Aesthetic Encounter" by
Mihaly & Csikszentmihalyi and Rick E. Robinson
Again from Amazon: This book focuses on the psychology of the aesthetic
experience and on the perception and understanding of art, suggesting
ways to raise levels of visual literacy and enhance artistic enjoyment.

I have found both of these books (at least certain chapters) to be quite
useful to bring to my students.
