Finding Flow

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced Me-High Chick-Sent-Me-High) is described as the world's leading researcher on positive psychology and has contributed pioneering work to our understanding of happiness, creativity, human fulfillment and the notion of "flow" — a state of heightened focus and immersion in activities such as art, play and work.

Csikszentmihalyi once said: "Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason."

Here is a TED talk where Csikszentmihalyi explains flow more clearly.
