Tangential question: Could someone tell me how you're supposed to read "Csíkszentmihályi" ?

To me it seems that names are supposed to be broken up into their syllables, but I could be very wrong:

Csiks-zent-mihal-yi

Essentially the same as:

Sixzent-mehalyee

If you look through the few dozen comments here, there's several threads about this. In fact, it seems to be the primary topic of conversation.

I remember a cassette set from 2 authors who referred to his works on creativity. They eventually met him and occasionally consulted.

The audio said, "His last name is pronounced Chick-SENT-me-high-ee. We call him Mike!"

With which accents? I teach and always embarrassingly stumble when I need to announce him.

As a musician his work has been immensely important.
