Flow

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Groundbreaking when first published in 1990 – already a classic a few decades later – “Flow” summarizes, for a general audience, over 30 years of research by Hungarian American psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. He focused on the positive aspects of human experience – joy, creativity, and the process of total involvement with life that the author calls “flow,” and we, colloquially, refer to as “being in the zone.”
