Mihály CsíkszentmihályiIn psychological thermodynamics, Mihály Csíkszentmihályi (pronounced Me-high Chick-sent-me-high) (1934-) is a Hungarian-born American psychologist noted for his positive psychology theories of flow, i.e. Csíkszentmihályi flow, or “states of optimal experience”, the use of the Freudian-Jungian terms psychic energy and psychic entropy in his analysis of states of mental life, and ideas on negentropism, e.g. psychic negentropy. [1] Csíkszentmihályi has stated that he was drawn into psychology after attending a lecture by Swiss psychologists Carl Jung. [2]

Some of Csíkszentmihályi's writings on entropy have been influentual to American entropy-ethics educator Dick Hammond, among others. [3]
