Abstract

Creativity is fascinating. It is the result of mental activity, an action that occurs inside the heads of some special people. That statement may be misleading. If creativity is an idea or action that is new and valuable, then we simply cannot accept one's own account for its existence. Maybe creativity does not happen inside people's heads, but is an interaction between a person's thoughts and the social context they are in. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the author of Flow, defines flow as working with passion and skill to achieve a purpose or goal. He determined there is a delicate balance between working in the flow and happiness. If you have the passion without the skill and experience one will have anxiety. The amount of anxiety will be determined by one's skill and experiences. If you have passion, skill, and experience, then working in flow gives you happiness and great accomplishment. Through autoethnography, this chapter explores the creative economy and sustainability.
