The second volume in the collected works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
covers about thirty years of Csikszentmihalyi‘s work on three
main and interconnected areas of study: attention, flow and
positive psychology. Describing attention as psychic energy and in
the footsteps of William James, Csikszentmihalyi explores the
allocation of attention, the when and where and the amount of
attention humans pay to tasks and the role of attention in creating
‘experiences’, or ordered patterns of information. Taking into
account information processing theories and attempts at quantifying
people’s investment, the chapters deal with such topics as time
budgets and the development and use of the Experience Sampling
Method of collecting data on attention in everyday
life. Following the chapters on attention and reflecting
Csikszentmihalyi’s branching out into sociology and anthropology,
there are chapters on the topic of adult play and leisure and
connected to that, on flow, a concept formulated and developed by
Csikszentmihalyi. Flow has become a popular concept in business and
management around the world and research on the concept continues
to flourish. Finally, this volume contains articles that stem from
Csikszentmihalyi’s connection with Martin Seligman; they deal
with concepts and theories, as well as with the development and
short history, of the field and the “movement” of positive
psychology.
