Steven Kotler: Master Your Flow with The Art of the Impossible (#165)

Best-selling author and peak performance expert Steven Kotler
decodes the secrets of those elite performers - athletes, artists,
scientists, CEOs, and more - who have changed our definition of the
possible, teaching us how we too can stretch far beyond our
capabilities, making impossible dreams much more attainable for all
of us. What does it take to accomplish the impossible? What does it
take to shatter our limitations, exceed our expectations, and turn
our biggest dreams into our most recent achievements? We are
capable of so much more than we know - that’s the message at the
core of The Art of Impossible. Building upon cutting-edge
neuroscience and more than 20 years of research, best-selling
author, peak performance expert and executive director of the Flow
Research Collective, Steven Kotler lays out a blueprint for extreme
performance improvement. If you want to aim high, here is the
playbook to make it happen! Inspirational and aspirational,
pragmatic and accessible, The Art of Impossible is a life-changing
experience disguised as a how-to manual for peak performance that
anyone can use to shoot for the stars...spacesuit not included. Get
