text: Agreed, after all this is a biography page.  There is already a page on flow, making all but the first paragraph of this redundant and off-topic.
He's lucky he took up with Psych, because if he had been a pioneer in electrical matters, I could hardly see how anyone would be happy asking for a 40 Csikszentmihaly light bulb. Myles325a (talk) 05:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I think that citation should be brought forward. Although the irony is nice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.1.36.14 (talk) 15:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some small irony 

message: Moved here from the article:
*"He is a member of the national advisory board of Positive Coaching Alliance."
Csikszentmihalyi's being on the board of the Positive Coaching Alliance is not a top honor worthy of the introductory paragraph. It belongs in a subordinate section on "other" affiliations. If someone would like to put it back in the article when we have such a section, that would be nice. -DoctorW 18:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have moved this article back to its proper name, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.  This is the name he uses, the name under which all of his books are entered in the Library of Congress card catalog and anywhere else.  Gene Nygaard (talk) 01:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: 'Challenge Level' vs. 'Perceived Importance' or 'Perceived Impact', ...
Maybe the term 'Challenge Level' could be replaced with 'Perceived Impact', or something else?
I could feel doing something would be challenging, but until I perceive doing this something is going to make an impact, I'm not going to feel any anxiety about it.
But should Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's phrasing be changed? Maybe he defines challenge differently than you, I, or someone else would? How does he define challenge? Changing this phrasing feels like changing the entire article, and theory, and totally coming up with a new theory. Wikipedia doesn't do stuff like that, does it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BryanFRitt (talk • contribs) 19:22, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I am just reading the doctrine of high magic by eliphas Levi and the word is used in the translation from the french in regards to the buffoon tarot card using the word autotelia. Obviously as this work is earlier and as the word comes from the Greek and would be no different in French; does this not attribute the word in regards to the psyche to Levi or his teacher William Postel, whose works I have not looked at? Perhaps Mihaly cites Levi? I don't know. Given the cross over of magic in the late 19th to early 20th century between Theosophy, Steiner, Gurdjieff, Crowley, etc and Freudian psychology, it would be interesting and pertinent to know if Mihaly also gleaned his psychological foundations and terms from these works. 2.27.8.132 (talk) 09:13, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Autotelic as Mihalys original term 

message: What is this portion:
"I speak for the entire University of California, Berkeley family when I say "We'll miss you, Mihaly." IN LOVING MEMORY OF MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI 1934-2021."
It's cited but also completely clashes with encyclopedic tone. Can we remove it? Tttttarleton (talk) 12:21, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
