The Rise of Superman

Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance
Book • 2014
In this groundbreaking book, Steven Kotler delves into the science of 'flow,' an optimal state of consciousness where individuals perform and feel their best.

Drawing on over a decade of research and firsthand interviews with top action and adventure sports athletes like Laird Hamilton, Jeremy Jones, and Danny Way, Kotler explains how these athletes achieve the impossible through flow.

The book bridges the gap between extreme sports and mainstream life, offering insights on how to radically accelerate performance in everyday activities.

It is a exploration of profound possibility, examining what is achievable for human beings and where our limits lie.
