"People at the end of their life who claimed to be the happiest with their life were the ones who had spent the most time in this state of flow."
I can certainly believe this.
If you are not familiar with the concept of "flow state" (Samadhi in Hindu cultures [1]), I'd recommend reading the wonderful "Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art" by Stephen Nachmanovitch [2] over the more famous "Flow" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
