Flow teori

csikszentmihalyiMihaly Csikszentmihalyi’ tale ved TedTalks er nu blevet gjort tilgængelig online. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi er bedst kendt for hans flow teori i for eksempel bogen Flow – optimaloplevelsens psykologi, men han er også en bidragsyder til positiv psykologi (aka smiley psychology).

I denne tale spørger Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi “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: Creativity, fulfillment and flow.

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.
