“It is as if evolution has built a safety device in our nervous system that allows us to experience full happiness only when we are living at 100%–when we are fully using the physical and mental equipment we have been given.”

–Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Italian-born Hungarian American Psychologist and Author, 1934-)

Synergy and Cooperation

“The ideal social unit is a group small enough to allow intense face to face interaction, one in which members participate voluntarily, and in which each person can contribute to a common goal by doing what he or she does best.”          

–Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Italian-born Hungarian American Psychologist and Author, 1934-)   

Tansforming Adversity

“Of all the virtues we can learn, no trait is more useful, more essential for survival, and more likely to improve the quality of life than the ability to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge.”          

–Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Italian-born Hungarian American Psychologist and Author, 1934-)
