Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (psychologist)

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi was a psychologist best known for his research on "flow," a state of deep immersion and focus when people are fully engaged in an activity. During flow, individuals experience enjoyment, creativity, and a sense of fulfillment, often losing track of time. Csikszentmihalyi studied how this state contributes to happiness and optimal performance, emphasizing the importance of balancing challenge and skill. His work helps us understand how to find meaning and satisfaction in everyday activities by cultivating flow experiences.
