Hello everyone.

This episode touches on flow state in gaming and esports. Specifically, you'll learn about the impact of receiving positive (win) or negative (lose) feedback on gamers' flow state, emotions, and motivation. Additionally, you'll discover the role of individual differences and how you can leverage this knowledge to have more fun gaming and potentially improve your rank.

[DISCLAIMER]: The article is written for my weekly newsletter, and published on my website. A new episode comes out every Sunday (directly into your inbox and on my website).

Have a great weekend,
Christian

I am curious, but is Csikszentmihalyi's concept of "flow" taken seriously by researchers? I know it gets cited a lot, and I'd be the first to admit my own reading is quite limited, but I found it to be extremely vague and broad almost to the point of meaninglessness.

Have you really never been "in the flow"?
aka perfect focus and mind not distracted? maybe I notice it more because of ADHD, it's day and night between normal me and me in the flow

(i don't really agree with the rest of the article though, but the flow state is very real)
