The Collected Works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

''Professor Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi has made numerous contributions to the field of psychology. For instance, he is known as one of the founders of positive psychology. He has also developed one of the most insightful methodological tools, the “Experiencing sampling technique”. However, he is probably best known for his work on the concept of “Flow” where the person becomes one with the task that he or she is doing. I can’t think of no better place to find information on these and other issues than the “Complete work of Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi”. Enjoy the ride!''Prof. Robert J. Vallerand, Professor of Social Psychology and Human Development, McGill University and Past President of the International Positive Psychology Association."This collection is a well-deserved tribute to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Although he is prominently known as the author of Flow Theory, the contributions collected here provide readers with a broader view of his depth of knowledge and perspective. His eclectic approach to psychology is a brilliant example of synergy between humanism and scientific thought, in pursuit of a conceptualization of optimal functioning encompassing the manifold aspects of human complexity"."This collection is a well-deserved tribute to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
