Perspective

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has had decades of experience in his field as a psychologist. As a Senior Fulbright Fellow and member of the National Academy of Leisure Sciences and the National Academy of Education, Csikszentmihalyi has had the opportunity to teach myriad colleagues and students the theory surrounding "flow," a concept which Csikszentmihalyi developed.

As an expert in his field, the author has performed extensive research on the consciousness and its capabilities. Although the author freely admits that much of consciousness remains a mystery to psychologists, philosophers and medical practitioners, there are methods by which one can control the consciousness in order to achieve a sense of well being.
