Mihaly csikszentmihalyi

I was saddened today to learn of the passing of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the Hungarian-American psychologist who is the father of Flow theory. I heard him speak in 1996, and he influenced every class I taught for the next twenty years. I wrote several articles which included pieces of his work, and his theory formed a large part of the theoretical framework for my dissertation. He changed my teaching and the way I view life. He leaves behind a significant legacy.
