Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (positive psychology)

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is a psychologist best known for his concept of "flow," a state of complete immersion and enjoyment in an activity. He argued that optimal experiences occur when people engage in tasks that challenge their skills just enough to keep them focused and motivated. This idea has influenced positive psychology, emphasizing that happiness comes from actively pursuing meaningful activities and achieving personal growth. Csikszentmihalyi's work suggests that by finding flow in everyday life, individuals can enhance their well-being and overall satisfaction.
