Flow State: Psychology of optimal experience | "Your sense of self disappears" | Csikszentmihalyi

Explore the concept of 'flow'—the state of optimal experience. The book 'Flow' was written by Dr. Mike Csikszentmihalyi in 1990.

I worked for Dr. Mike for six years as a research associate (yes, I know he signed his books 'Mihaly,' but he always insisted I call him 'Mike') . He was an amazing mentor and friend and he is greatly missed. In honor of his birthday, I cleaned up the audio on a lecture he delivered on flow and added some visuals.
