Stealing Fire How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal

https://amzn.to/3K7WKiGStealing Fire, co-written by Stephen Kotler and Jamie Wheal, tells the story of a modern revolution in our understanding of peak states of consciousness such as flow, mystical enlightenment, and psychedelic experience. According to the authors, these peak states—collectively, "ecstasis"—can catalyze personal transformation, expand your creativity, and connect you to a palpable sense of meaning and fulfillment.Kotler and Wheal are best selling authors as well as the co-founders of the Flow Genome Project, where they train top organizations—ranging from Navy SEALS to Olympic Athletes and Fortune 500 CEOS—on the principles of flow and peak states.In this guide, we’ll break down their argument that accessing peak states has become easier, safer, and more legitimate as various scientific advances have demystified what was once obscure and taboo. In our commentary, we’ll touch on additional research, the legality of psychedelics, and recent updates to some of the authors’ ideas.
