The Autotelicself An Autotelicself is an individual who strives to be in the flow. The flow is how a person becomes so involved in an activity and sets their minds to it till the individual is fully satisfied. However, an autotelicself will not know which goals are good and which goals are bad; thus not knowing which goal to choose from and which not to.
