'Engagement' is the goal, not one of the boundaries. This is clarified in the extended definition. For the short definition, let's go with '... an appropriate level of stress somewhere between boredom nd intimidation'.

I hated the phrase "somewhere between engagement and intimidation," and, though "boredom" is a more accurate word to convey the ends of the range I still don't like the phrasing. I couldn't think of anything better, but that's due to brain flatulence, mainly. So if anyone comes up with a prettier way to say that, please do.
