Csikszentmihalyi argues that the content of one's life experiences over one lifetime determines the quality of life and that it is preferable to be have intrinsic or extrinsic motivation than not having any kind of goal to focus your attention on. He also stresses that to live fully now one must take note of the past lessons.
