“The ... reason creativity is so fascinating is that when we are involved in it, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.”
― Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention
“When we choose a goal and invest ourselves in it to the limits of concentration, whatever we do will be enjoyable. And once we have tasted this joy, we will redouble our efforts to taste it again. This is the way the self grows.”
― Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
