7 Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi spent decades studying thousands of people at the moments they felt most deeply alive, and their answers kept pointing to the same place: not passive relaxation, but total absorption in a difficult activity that stretched their abilities without overwhelming them, until self-consciousness faded and time seemed to disappear.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi spent decades studying thousands of people at the moments they felt most deeply alive, and their answers kept pointing to the same place: not passive relaxation, but total absorption in a difficult activity that stretched their abilities without overwhelming them, until self-consciousness faded and time seemed to disappear.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did not find the deepest form of human aliveness where modern culture often tells us to look for it. Not in total comfort. Not in passive ease. Not in the blank relief of finally doing nothing. He found it in the opposite place: in hard, absorbing activity that demanded so much attention that ... Read more

Weekly poll results: the Honor Magic V6 has many fans, but its price keeps others away

The Honor Magic V6 is available in Europe at a discounted price of €1,700/£1,500 until the end of the month. The EU price is set to go up to €2,300 in August and the UK price relies on a £500 voucher, which probably won’t last long. In either case, you get a free Honor Pad 10 and a 24-month screen protection plan. Even so, the price is turning some potential... Read more

Scientists have uncovered evidence that serotonin, the chemical best known for regulating mood, may also speed the progression of a common heart valve disease in some people. The research suggests that patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation who take SSRI antidepressants and carry a specific genetic variant may develop severe valve damage sooner, potentially requiring surgery at a younger age.

Gold may have a secret self-defense system that helps it resist tarnishing. Researchers discovered that atoms on gold surfaces reorganize themselves into patterns that block oxygen from reacting with the metal, suppressing oxidation by up to a trillion-fold. Beyond explaining why gold jewelry stays bright for generations, the finding could help scientists create more powerful gold-based catalysts for manufacturing and clean energy. Read more

Psychology says people who feel emotionally lighter within minutes of arriving at the ocean aren’t imagining it — studies show that simply looking at water can lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate in less than two minutes, before a single wave has been heard.

There is a particular feeling that arrives before the holiday has properly started. You step out of the car near the ocean, or reach the end of a street where the water suddenly opens in front of you, and your body seems to loosen before your mind has built an explanation. It can feel sentimental ... Read more Read more

In 2010, a Brigham Young University psychologist named Julianne Holt-Lunstad analyzed 148 separate studies of 300,000 people to compare the mortality risks of various lifestyle factors — and found that chronic loneliness increases a person’s risk of dying early by the same amount as smoking 15 cigarettes a day

In July 2010, three American psychology researchers — Julianne Holt-Lunstad and Timothy B. Smith of the Brigham Young University Department of Psychology in Provo, Utah, and J. Bradley Layton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Epidemiology — published in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine the substantial 21-page meta-analytic paper “Social ...

In 1979, a Harvard psychologist named Ellen Langer took eight men in their late 70s to a retreat house redecorated exactly like 1959 — old magazines, radio broadcasts, and furniture — and asked them to live as their younger selves for a week, and by the end their eyesight, hearing, memory, and grip strength had measurably improved

In September 1979, at an old converted Catholic monastery in the wooded countryside of Peterborough, New Hampshire — approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Boston, and approximately six months before Ellen Jane Langer would become, in the specific spring of 1981, the first female professor to receive tenure in the history of the Harvard University Department ...

Psychology says the people who read everything on social media but never post anything are not the shy ones or the antisocial ones — they are usually the most careful observers in the room, and they have learned that watching quietly gives them information about other people that speaking would immediately take away

The population of people who use social media without posting is much larger than most active posters realise. The Pew Research Center’s 2019 study “Sizing Up Twitter Users,” based on a nationally representative sample of U.S. adult Twitter users, found that the median user posts just twice a month, while the most prolific 10 percent ...

Psychology says people who are known as the quiet one at work aren’t disengaged or unfriendly — they’re often the ones processing every conversation at a depth most people in the room haven’t noticed yet

Most workplaces have one: the person known as the quiet one. They sit through the meeting saying little, offer the occasional short remark, and let others fill the air. It is easy to read that silence as disengagement, aloofness, or simply not having much to add. The psychology of introversion and listening suggests the opposite ... Read more Read more
