One of the things that surprised Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi when he was doing surveys about pleasure and enjoyment was the universal agreement on what constituted an enjoyable experience. He found that people from all cultures, all stages of life shared the same sense of what made an activity truly enjoyable.
Moreover, widely differing activities from art to competitive swimming to chess or dance, all shared the same elements.
