increasing creativity in one’s life. He claims that creative people regularly experience a state he calls flow, which is a heightened state

of pleasure experienced when they engage in challenging tasks that absorb their interest. Csikszentmihalyl claims that the first step in

achieving a more creative life is through curiosity and interest. Do you agree with Csikszentmihalyl that curiosity and interest can lead
