The Wall Street Journal has listed Flow among the six books "every well-stocked business library should have." Though published in the early 1990s, Flow has continued to draw attention from both researchers and the general public and has been translated into more than twenty languages. Csikszentmihalyi is the author of several popular books about his theories, including the bestselling Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience The Evolving Self Creativity Finding Flow and Good Business. His research and theories on the psychology of optimal experience have revolutionized psychology and have been adopted in practice by national leaders such as Bill Clinton and Tony Blair as well as top members of the global executive elite who run the world's major corporations. Csikszentmihalyi was also former head of the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. He was Claremont Graduate University’s Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Management as well as founder and co-director of the Quality of Life Research Center (QLRC), a nonprofit research institute that studies positive psychology, which looks at human strengths such as optimism, creativity, intrinsic motivation, and responsibility. MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI (1934–2021) was a Hungarian-born polymath who recognized and named the psychological concept of "flow," a highly focused mental state conducive to productivity. But if my opponent was somebody in my own range of abilities, then the game was fun. If I played against somebody who played badly, it wasn't fun either because I started getting distracted and thinking about other things. I also noticed then that if I played against somebody really good, it wasn't much fun. I didn't have any chance to be distracted or any chance to worry about anything. I felt completely involved, my mind was working, I had to be alert, and I had to process information about what was happening. I realized, however, that when I played chess, I completely forgot what was going on, and for hours I had a great time.
At that time, the war was creating a lot of anxiety everywhere, and as a ten-year-old I saw the whole world I took for granted crumbling.
If I were to try to go back to the origins of the theory, I would say that it probably started germinating in 1944-45, when I was ten years old. People have applied the studies all over the world, and it has influenced many schools, factories, offices, and even political systems. The work that I'm best known for is flow theory and the studies of flow experience.
