Episode notes

When we are looking at the world through very intensely focused vision, right, staring at the thing in front of us with full concentration, that's what the eyes do during fight or flight. So regulating your nervous system is really important for these kind of harder challenges on a daily basis. You can use things like a gratitude practice or a mindful map practice or regular exercises to regulate your nervous system. But in scarier situations, you need stuff that's going to work immediately. Sometimes breath work will do it. Sometimes reframe and we'll do it. sometimes you need a more physiological based intervention.

Today, we're thrilled to have Steven Kotler, a best-selling author and peak performance expert. Steven is the author of the best-selling book 'The Art of Impossible', a guide that explores the science of achieving the impossible.

In this episode, Steven delves into the neurobiology of peak performance, emphasizing the role of curiosity, passion, and purpose in achieving success. He demystifies the concept of 'impossible,' explaining that it often boils down to a skillset that hasn't been mastered yet.

Steven's insights are not just for peak performers but for anyone who seeks to push their boundaries and discover their hidden potential. He discusses the four stages of the flow cycle and how understanding these stages can help individuals achieve more flow in their lives. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in peak performance, personal development, and the power of the human mind.
