When we are able to confront life with such involvement and enthusiasm, we can be said to have achieved an autotelic personality. An autotelic person is one that has experienced flow in life and moves through each day with high intent, inexhaustible psychic energy, and fully immersed in the current of life. This session will present such concepts as the autotelic personality, flow, finding and creating flow in everyday life, and creating and engaging in optimal experiences across the lifespan. Participants will learn how to be more autotelic in their thought and deed.
