Flow is the original, most comprehensive explanation of the psychology of the perfect experience. Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the leading thinker of positive psychology, influenced the lives of millions who were consciously or instinctively searching for the possibilities of their own fulfillment with his revolutionary work. Renowned psychologists, businessmen, artists, politicians and athletes, as well as parents, teachers, doctors and creative professionals who regularly deal with the workings and mysteries of the soul, drew inspiration from the book. The search for happiness and the desire to restore lost destinies originates from the depths of the human soul, the contemplation of an ideal life is as old as philosophical thinking. The rare virtue of the theory of flow is that it was founded on serious research work, and at the same time, its description and often confirmed conclusions are comprehensible even for those inexperienced in psychology and often have the power of extraordinary recognition. Flow is now published in the Wheels of the Mind series, with essentially unchanged text compared to the 1997 edition.
