Flow, The Secret to Happiness (2.8mil views)

27 Aug 2015

If you are serious about understanding Flow in pursuit of fulfilling your true potential, watching this 18min video should be your starting point.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi asks, “What makes a life worth living?” Noting that money cannot make us happy, he looks to those who find pleasure and lasting satisfaction in activities that bring about a state of “flow.”

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has contributed pioneering work to our understanding of happiness, creativity, human fulfillment and the notion of “flow” — a state of heightened focus and immersion in activities such as art, play and work.

Why you should listen

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says creativity is a central source of meaning in our lives. A leading researcher in positive psychology, he has devoted his life to studying what makes people truly happy:

“When we are involved in [creativity], we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.”

He is the architect of the notion of “flow” — the creative moment when a person is completely involved in an activity for its own sake.

Csikszentmihalyi teaches psychology and management at Claremont Graduate University, focusing on human strengths such as optimism, motivation and responsibility. He’s the director at the Quality of Life Research Center there. He has written numerous books and papers about the search for joy and fulfillment.
