Glad you asked. I thought nobody would ask. <g>

Let me cite from this site: http://www.brainchannels.com/thinker/mihaly.html

People enter a flow state when they are fully absorbed in activity during which they lose their sense of time and have feelings of great satisfaction.

Mr. Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced chick-sent-me-high-ee) is chiefly renowned as the architect of the notion of flow in creativity.


I'm not familiar with the details of his Flow Theory, but flow is part of my life and I'm addicted to it. I measure the quality of my life to the degree and frequency that I still manage to enter flow. A life without any flow is kind of a disaster for the individual. Regaining flow should be priority number one for that person. And of course it should be regained without drugs or medicine, unless some severe handicap would stand in the way.

>>So who is Flo? Or did you mean like "Hustle and Flow"? That movie was filmed right here in Memphis!<g>

>no, no. Putting 'flow' as first priority means he has prostate problems

>>>Since it's not only directed to Mike, but also to all I jump in. At this moment on top of my own list is flow. Family is the second item on the list, not the first one. Some may be of opinion that I apparently therefore are more egoistical than altruistical. If so, tell me here. I am prepared to try to explain what I mean with flow.
