In memory of Clayton Christensen, we share his impactful piece from the Harvard Business Review in 2010.

"Harvard Business School’s Christensen teaches aspiring MBAs how to apply management and innovation theories to build stronger companies. But he also believes that these models can help people lead better lives. In this article, he explains how exploring questions everyone needs to ask: How can I be happy in my career?

The concept of Flow, as written about by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, is defined as "a psychologically optimal mental state. Flow is when you are neither too bored by the triviality of the task or overwhelmed by its difficulty. You lose sense of time, you are wholly focused, undistracted. In this state, you achieve growth and you live up to your potential."

This concept is explored and unpacked in this piece from the blog Unearned Wisdom, which reviews and discusses a variety of psychological and philosophical themes. What the author posits from Csikszentmihalyi's work is that we are all capable of achieving autoletic lives, which means we are primarily driven by our goals in all that we do, rather than the prospect of external rewards.
