Episode notes

In traditional psychology, you'll hear people talk about the action perception or the perception cycle. But it turns out that's exactly backwards. We don't perceive the world and then act on our perceptions; we use our actions to test our perceptions. This feeds directly into how we learn. In fact, just say you want to learn a foreign language. If you couple the words with gestures, right, I'm trying to learn, you know, whatever it is. And when you're saying the word yourself, you coupled the meaning with a gesture, you will learn it much faster. That is a pterodactyl effect. It's a way for us to open up this motor learning

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.
