At the end of the day, this is what it’s all about. This TED talk by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi about what makes us happy, and how to get into the state of “flow” where a feeling of ecstasy can be found.
What Makes People Happy?
Survival and enlightenment in precarious times.
I really like this talk. The graphic presented at 15:30 really says it all. When you’re challenged and using your skills life just flows.
