Flow is essential for achieving happiness and fulfillment from "summary" of Flow (Edição revista e atualizada) by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
To experience happiness and fulfillment in life, one must achieve a state of flow. This state is characterized by complete absorption in an activity, where one's skills are perfectly matched to the challenges at hand. When in flow, individuals are fully focused and engaged, losing track of time and self-consciousness. It is in these moments of flow that people feel their best and perform at their peak. Flow is essential for happiness because it allows individuals to forget about worries and concerns, immersing themselves in the present moment. In this state, there is a sense of effortless action, where everything seems to fall into place effortlessly. As a result, individuals feel a sense of mastery and control over their lives, leading to increased feelings of satisfaction and well-being. Furthermore, flow is crucial for achieving fulfillment because it provides a sense of purpose and meaning in life. When engaged in activities that bring about flow, individuals feel a deep sense of connection to something greater than themselves. This connection fosters a sense of transcendence and personal growth, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling existence.- Flow is not just a fleeting moment of happiness but a state of being that can lead to long-lasting fulfillment. By seeking out activities that promote flow and cultivating the conditions for flow to occur, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and lead more meaningful lives. It is through flow that one can truly experience the joys of living to the fullest.
