In his book Flow (1990), Csikszentmihalyi describes an intrinsically rewarding state, called Flow, in which the body and mind are in perfect harmony and a person can fully immerse in a specific task with seemingly inexhaustible energy and focus.

Csikszentmihalyi positions Flow as a secret to happiness, which is unsupported and idealistic.
