Work, stress vs. hobby, flow

Abstract

What could an ordinary adult do if the work stress decreases the effectiveness and happiness? What can they do to survive the hardest situations during work? Is free time enough to help? Can we say some of the free time activity is the solution to every problem? Or do we have other possibilities? The author tries to find the answer to these questions based on a survey. The interviewees were intellectuals, as the questionnaire focused most on how the ongoing psychological burden could be processed by the respondents. Finally, the research also focused on how flow can help to treat stress.
