Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Today is the birthday of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (cheek-sen-me-hi), a Hungarian psychologist best-known for his work with “flow theory.” “Flow” is Csikszentmihalyi’s term for a highly focused mental state in which people are thoroughly engaged and absorbed in their task, and therefore highly productive. In a flow state, the doer is engaged by activities that are challenging yet achievable, and each activity flows seamlessly into the next, and the person, experiencing a feeling of well-deserved success and accomplishment, derives great joy and fulfillment from the task at hand
