• What does the research show about the beneficial effects of ‘flow’ on our happiness and wellbeing?
• How can we actively bring ‘flow’ into our lives at work, at play and in our relationships?
• Learning to live in harmony with ourselves, our society and the greater universe.
Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, USA, one of the greatest psychologists of our time, pioneering researcher into optimal experience or ‘flow’ and best-selling author of Flow: The classic work on how to achieve happiness
Mihaly's top 3 conditions for flow
1) Clear goals every step of the way
2) Immediate feedback after every action
3) A good balance between challenge and skill.
These are the exact criteria people use for "gamification." So video games are fun because they automatically put you in a state of flow.
A great psychologist and human being. I learned a lot from his teachings. Rest in peace.
Basically if you are living in present you are in state of flow. Our mind always live in past or in future. If we can bring it in present,the very moment we are living we will be in flow and hence happy. That's what buddha taught,that's how he lived. That's what nirvana is .

I don't know why there are so many dislikes (perhaps the speaker seems an old guy who speaks slowly and in a bit boring way). In fact, this is the best video on the subject which I have seen so far.
That's what the "I'm a UA-camr so I have to cut my videos like I don't need to breathe while I talk" style of editing does to people's brains.
Goddammit, people have the attention span of goldfish, these days. Mindfulness should be mandatory in schools.
Protip. Watch in 1.25 speed.
you sir are a hero, I was about to fall asleep, got to love the old man but he speaks way too slow
better protip: watch everything as much as you can in 2x. you get more info faster, especially for videos like these
^more maximum protip: Open lots of tabs and play videos in all of them in 10x speed.
On 100 laptops open lots of tabs - 10 and play videos in all of them in 10x speed. :D
Ultimate protip: Become God and just know everything.
Flow comes a little more easily with cooking that it does with some other pursuits. What is truly unique about fine cooking is that it is both a skill and an art...it is art that happens in the moment. It is transigent, but very beautiful when perfectly executed.
"Flow" is a great concept. Once we understand its details, it is a valuable tool to apply in everyday living.
You are inspiration for me sir

Very interested in topic. Find it a bit off putting that the leading authority on finding happiness seems himself to be quite unhappy
?
very good!
Seems like the same lessons as in Bhagvat Gita, to follow one's karma, to get immersed in the karma and to not worry about the results. Same old wine in new bottle.
🤦
Church?

The Divine Comedy 1320, by Dante, is stolen literature from "Resalat Al-Ghufran" that was written by the Arab poet Abū al-ʿAlāʾ al-Maʿarrī (December 973 - May 1057). after Dante wrote his book not a single reference to where he got from. surprise surprise.

We can manage 124bit/s or 110bit/s?
To understand someone speaking 40bit/s or 60bit/s ?
110 and 60, he said it in a ted talk?
ujst trying to figure out how to say his name lol

What’s with all these negative people in the comments?? Bro, quit expecting for answers to be handed to you on a silver platter. That’s exactly what he teaches, finding your own happiness. Just because you seemingly think he’s not happy based off of YOUR own insecurities, judgement and definition of happiness doesn’t mean that he’s not.
Also, quit complaining about his English and his accent. Work on your active listening and comprehension skills.
Mihaly is a misunderstood genius, he found the secret to happines and his videos do not even get to 100,000 views.
Antonio Ruiz Sign of the times
But if he found the secret to happiness, why doesn’t come across as particularly happiness? Even in this lecture he’s not in flow.
Alan Edher We don’t know he’s not in flow and even if he isn’t he’s probably over doing all of these presentations. He could probably get the majority of his flow from research and working alone. He may also not like talking in front of large crowds BUT it comes with the job so he has no choice.
Wym ?
It's not that people don't want the knowledge, it's that people are lazy, they don't want to do the work.
If have enough "why" you will find the "how". Stay young at heart and stay hungry my friend.
wise words
Be water my friend
Great recap of the legendary book....
Thoughts of Flow today; " Missing your presence", a Blessed memory among the stars, grateful for this talk and the many teachings you taught.
He is just beautiful and love how simply he reminds us what is already within ❤
He has done very good work, FLOW is very good book, but he seems physically unhealthy: most unfortunate.
thank you...very interesting
To be successfull with the FLOW you strictly have to act in the r i g h t morphogenetic field / sector ! Me personally I reached this goal within "artists business" after n e v e r being the slightest successful in the "f i n a n c i a l (money) biz" ! Simply take a look on what youtr parents and gramnnd-parents were successful in - that may give you a hint what talents are genetically present in you !
I'm reading his book, the evolving self. And he comes across as a very intelligent Buddhist monk.
I am reading this book too, it’s great s
Legendary book
That was so helpful for me. I didn't before know I need to build up my skills in a given activity before I will experience flow. I realize I've experienced the difference when learning music (awkwardness becoming flow), now I understand I can transfer it to drawing and have more patience there (I'm in the awkward phase). Thank you.
Its important we learn to trust God/universe to take us in the direction for our highest good. Often we simply need to let go and go with the flow.
Excellent.
This is not complelty correct. I fails to define happines and destinguise it from the periodic condtion of enjoyment . But it is in the right dirrection.
Its more well being. Which still is the preferable human state.
RIP, Mike!
Lol good info, but this guy happily put me to sleep with this boring presentation
fantastic tnx for the vid
Excellence in any process requires "flow"...otherwise, you will be miserable.
good vid
Very interesting. Poor sound unfortunately.
Thanks guys!
Thanks MC!
💓🥰
This guy doesn’t even sound like he practices what he preaches. Just an observer. Not to mention having to engage in something to be happy is almost like avoiding the problems causing unhappiness. Just some criticism.
boa palestra!!!
Where can I get the transcripts to this video?
You can skip the first 8 min to get to the meat
Thank you.
Pretty sure he listens to P-Funk
Just finished reading his book. Flow. I learned a lot about human consciousness. However there’s not much there about happiness. It’s pretty much about seeing as a series of games and getting fully engaged in them.
At the end of the day you have to see where the advise is coming from. And this guy doesn’t seem particularly happy. It must be quite terrible if you believe that you fully understand happiness but can’t muster it.
Alan Edher Maybe him not being happy led to him discovering flow and Positive Psychology, how many individuals were truly happy during his time in Europe?
Wake me up when it is over, please.
Wouldn't it be cool if UA-cam had a feature to change the accent of the speaker?
AI does.
I'm sorry but it's nonsense. you are wrong.
Dazu How is is wrong?
@@FuturePsychNurse secret of happiness is not flow. how happiness works, you can learn from the book mechanism of happiness.
He speaks to slow for me🥱😴
Play it in 2X ;)
