[He] has done more than anyone else to study this state of effortless attending * Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow *
Csikszentmihalyi eloquently argues that living fully in the here and now requires that one heed the lessons of the past * New York Times Book Review *
Rethinks what motivates people * Newsweek *
Mr Csikszentmihalyi illuminates the accuracy of what philosophers have been saying for centuries: that the way to happiness lies not in mindless hedonism but in mindful challenge * The New York Times *

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi was Claremont Graduate University's Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management, and former chairman of the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. For the past thirty years, up until he died in 2021, he was involved in research on topics related to optimal experience or "flow." He was the author of 18 books, which have been translated into more than 20 languages. Interest in his work outside academia has been shown by substantial articles in Psychology Today, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, Omni, Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Focus, Newsweek, and others.
