#216: Steven Kotler on Ultimate Human Performance and Finding Your Flow

Think about the times when you've performed at your absolute best.  The times when your focus and clarity were so intense that you knew exactly what to do from one moment to the next.  The instances where you were your most productive, creative and powerful self.    Athletes call it "the zone" but it's also known as the flow state.  Unfortunately, for most people flow states are sporadic and by accident, if they happen at all.  But what if you could put yourself into a flow state anytime you need to?  Imagine what it would do for your business, training, success, and life.  Steven Kotler is my guest in Episode 216 of the #RenegadeRadioPodcast and he holds the keys to unlocking flow on command.    Steven is one of the world's leading experts on ultimate human performance.  He is the co-founder and director of the Flow Genome Project, a global organization committed to mapping the genome of flow by 2020 and making it available to everyone.  He is also an award winning journalist and the NY Times best-selling author of several amazing books including "Stealing Fire," "Bold," "The Rise of Superman," "Abundance," "A Small Furry Prayer," and "West of Jesus".    Show notes for this and every episode can be found at www.JasonFerruggia.com     This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. They make a powerful, brain-boosting coffee with the active ingredient, Lion's mane mushroom (also known as the "smart mushroom").
