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? These are the questions that our guest today has sought to answer in his new book The Art of the Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer.
Steven Kotler is a New York Times-bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective, and one of the world’s leading experts on human performance. He is the author of nine bestsellers including The Future is Faster Than You Think, Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman and Bold and Abundance which were co-authored with Peter Diamandis. His work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes, translated into over 40 languages, and has appeared in over 100 publications, including the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Wall Street Journal, TIME and the Harvard Business Review.
Steven and I discuss extreme innovation and the role that motivation, learning, creativity and flow play in it. He also shares his perspective on the ROI of reading books and his Five Not-So-Easy Steps for Learning Almost Anything. Enjoy the show.
