Hrithik also took to X to share a series of photos capturing different parts of his day. The pictures show him working out in an open garden, spending time with his son, and reading Flow by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi while sitting shirtless near a pool.
Along with the photos, Hrithik shared a reflective note that stood out for its honesty and simplicity.“Re- reading pages I underlined 25years ago.
I think it’s all finally coming together in my head now.
What fun.
Finding flow states.
That’s everything.
Thank you Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi for this one #FLOW”
The book focuses on how people can transform boring and meaningless routines into lives filled with enjoyment by entering what it calls “flow” and optimal experiences.
Finding meaning in everyday routines
The idea of “flow” refers to a mental state where a person is fully absorbed in what they are doing, with deep focus and involvement. This concept appears to align closely with Hrithik Roshan’s present phase of life, marked by clarity, balance and growth.
Fans responded warmly to the post, praising not just his fitness but also his curiosity and emotional awareness, calling the message relatable and timely.
What is the book Flow about?
Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience explains why some moments in life feel deeply satisfying, while others feel empty or stressful. The book says happiness does not come from money, fame or success alone. Instead, it comes from being fully absorbed in what we are doing.
This mental state is called “flow.” It happens when a person is so focused on an activity that they forget time, fatigue and even themselves. Athletes feel it during peak performance, artists feel it while creating, and ordinary people feel it while reading, cooking, or solving a problem they enjoy.
The book argues that life feels meaningful when people learn how to enter these flow states more often.
What is a “flow state”?
According to the book, flow usually appears when:
The task is challenging but matches your skills
You have a clear goal
You can see progress immediately
Distractions fade away
In flow, people feel control, clarity and enjoyment. The activity itself becomes the reward, not the result.
Why the book feels relevant even today
Although the book was written decades ago, its ideas feel more relevant now, especially in a world full of distractions, stress and constant online noise. Flow suggests that happiness can be trained by choosing meaningful challenges and learning how to focus deeply, instead of chasing external rewards.
This is why many readers say the book makes more sense when revisited later in life, after personal and professional experiences.
Who wrote Flow?
The book was written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a renowned psychologist known for his work on happiness, creativity and motivation.
He spent years studying people who felt fulfilled in their work and lives — including musicians, chess players, scientists and athletes. His research focused on what makes life worth living, rather than just treating mental illness.

Csikszentmihalyi believed that happiness is not something that happens to people. It is something they can build by shaping how they think, work and spend their time.
Why many people reread Flow
Readers often say the book reveals different meanings at different stages of life. Early on, it feels theoretical. Later, it feels practical and personal. That is why Flow continues to be widely read by professionals, creatives, athletes and even business leaders across the world.
