Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi |
The Danish Academy of Sciences invited Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, WiRED International Honorary Board member, to give a keynote address this October in Copenhagen for the 100th Anniversary of Niels Bohr’s first publication on quantum physics in 1913. Twenty scholars from around the world plan to attend the meeting, which will be presided over by the Queen of Denmark.
Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi is known for his research into happiness and creativity, and for his work on idea of “flow,” a psychological concept dealing with energized focus. He has written many books and more than 120 articles and book chapters.
Martin Seligman, former president of the American Psychological Association, described Csikszentmihalyi as the world’s leading researcher on positive psychology. Csikszentmihalyi once said, “Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished. Only through freely chosen discipline can life be enjoyed and still kept within the bounds of reason.” His works are influential and are widely cited.
