Episode notes

As we enter our 50s, there are fundamental shifts in the brain. When genes get turned on only by experience, we see the two halves of the brain start to talk together like never before. And wisdom is actually really important because it's one of the things that helps make the brain and pervious cognitive decline. So over the age of 30, you just have to approach in sort of specific way.

Is it possible to unlock new levels of flow, performance, and learning as you age?

Have you heard the saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” Do you believe that there’s nothing you can do to stop your physical and mental skills from deteriorating as you get older? If you do, you’re not alone. But these are nothing more than LIEs based on old ideas.

I’m thrilled to have Steven Kotler on our show today. Steven is the Executive Director of The Flow Research Collective, an award-winning journalist, and bestselling author of over a dozen books. He’s here to talk about his latest book, Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad.

You can’t do anything about growing older. But you can grow better. Research shows that if you’re losing skills as you age, it’s because you simply aren’t using them. If you want to sustain high levels of performance later and longer in life, this episode is for you.
