steven kotlerThis is my second interview with Steven Kotler. Last time we discussed Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think – the book Steven co-wrote with Peter Diamandis. This time, we discuss reaching our optimum state of performance, or what many of us call Flow.

During our conversation with Steven Kotler we cover issues such as the definition of flow as an optimal state of performance; his profound personal experiences of being in flow; the likelihood of putting flow in a pill or video game; why we need to set both long-term as well as clear short-term goals; Nietzsche and transhumanism; the flow genome project

As always you can listen to or download the audio file above or scroll down and watch the video interview in full. To show your support you can write a review on iTunesmake a direct donation, or become a patron on Patreon.
