THE FLOW EXPERIENCE CSIKSZENTMIHALYI FULL
Flow integrates research on consciousness, personal psychology, and spirituality to "Present general principles along with concrete examples of how some people have used these principles, to transform boring and meaningless lives into ones full of enjoyment." Our Professor describes his work as the effort "to study what makes people truly happy." The emphasis here is on the word "truly"-because to him, happiness is not simply an emotional state. The author of numerous books and published papers, Flow is recognized as his most influential book and has had a far reaching impact, selling millions of copies, and used extensively in academia, business, sports, psychology and life coaching. Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, (known as `Mike' and for the record his family name is pronounced "cheek-sent-me-high-ee", His name comes from "Saint Michael from the province of Csik," Csik being originally a Hungarian province) is one of the world's leading researchers on Positive Psychology.
