Mihály Csíkszentmihályi

Mihály Csíkszentmihályi was a psychologist best known for his research on "flow," a state of deep focus and enjoyment that occurs when someone is fully engaged in an activity that challenges them just enough to keep them interested. This mental state often leads to increased creativity, productivity, and personal satisfaction. Csíkszentmihályi's work helps us understand how people can find meaning and fulfillment through meaningful engagement, whether in work, hobbies, or relationships. His insights encourage designing activities and environments that promote this optimal experience, enhancing well-being and performance.
