In full flow:

"Contrary to what we usually believe, moments like these, the best moments in our lives, are not passive, receptive, relaxing times - although such experiences can be enjoyable, if we have worked hard to attain them. The best moments usually occur when a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile."

Like pronouncing the name of psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi whose book Flow this quote is taken from.


UPDATE: Thanks to the 'in-the-zone' Chris Green from AHP for emailing to say it's pronounced "chick-sent-me-high". Great name for an indie band that.
