Descriptions:
As the author of The Rise of Superman and co-founder of the Flow Genome Project, Steven Kotler is one of the world’s leading experts on ultimate human performance. In this riveting talk, he provides a stunning tour of current research, primarily focusing on “flow states”—an optimal state of consciousness where we both feel our best and perform our best. Researchers now know that flow sits at the heart of almost every athletic championship; underpins most major scientific breakthroughs; and accounts for significant progress in the arts. In business, its impact has been substantial. Coders in flow built the internet; video game designers in flow built the video game industry. “Flow state percentage”—which is the amount of time employees spend in flow—has been called the most important management metric for building great innovation teams. As a result of all of this, an increasing number of companies have put the cultivation of flow at the heart of their philosophies. So what is this mysterious state? How does it work its magic? And—if this really is the secret to ultimate human performance—how can we get more of it in our personal and professional lives?
38:08 Great talk guys.
I get in a flow state about half way through my running of back-woods state park trails.
The speaker in the video is in flow ??
I want to know the connection between flow and faith, the brain and the heart ??
?
Great talk. Thank you!
Cocaine Kotler.
i would like to hear someone talk on this subject and relate it to something more substantial than surfing.
I just started listening to Steven .his voice pitch is similar to Robert Downey jr … keeps you attention when he talks
As a performing artist I can attest to this 100%.
I've also felt this in my work as a Chef, it's nuts that they're the same thing basically.
Explains a lot TBH
My list of flow triggers, in order of priority:
1. Working with my hands (e.g. woodworking)
2. Gigging with my band
3. Riding my motorcycle on a twisty road
I learned that being in a very still and quite space,is when I'm at my most creative state

love winning edge to be be somebody and make history
I like talks that don't have time limit. Everything on web was trim down.
Cool video/
Find it hard to believe the chap asked a bunch of bikers when you felt the best and they said ‘when in the flow state’. Not a chance everyone said that. It might be true but they would not have known what flow state was.
It’s amazing how incorrectly people use the word Dimension
11:45 most people spend less than 5% of their at work time in a flow state … ?♂️
34:05 “if you’re not failing you’re not learning as rapidly as you might”
Interesting theory. Could also explain why video games are addicting because they can induce an artificial flow
It makes me think that the "trials of manhood" popular amongst more "primitive" societies was an instinctual seeking to engage in this flow state, which would have obvious benefits if the trials were successful. Which would also mean humanity has been chasing the flow state for far longer than the hundred or so years we've engaged in higher resolution breakdown of the state and it's benefits. And could very well be one of the major reasons for humanities intellectual and social ascension. Now I'm excited to see where the next step in the refinement of flow state induction techniques will lead humanity as a whole. So much yet to learn. I love it!
Just repeated the same thing for the first 10 minutes.
Feels like a lot of bs
hi
all my major insights came to me when the digits 1,2 and 3 were present on the clock (in various orders), which was nice

old jewish proverb "if they go right go left" old gentile saying "if it sounds too good to be true it is" this google talk "hey let's shut off the thinking part of your brain!"
the new nutritional facts label on current snake oil: "don't know"
This is really the biggest pile of bullshit I have ever heard and if you believe any of it shame on you you numbskull
How about you just give me some of that tDCS (Transcranial direct current stimulation)…

Ritalin, Adderall bad? How to achieve flow without it. Motivation is missing without the meds. There really is a "Limitless" drug

Its called Holy Ghost or spirit : when you rely on being taught by god himself 🙂 but you want to hack it like satanist
Look for god s kingdom first and everything will be given… it’s not just waves and fr@uencies… don’t forget Satan is hacking us with bad frequencies. And this will be human prison if you hacked by Satan. Mark of the beast precursor
No. 5x performance increase usually denoted an increase of 400%…
I've been doing this my whole life. I always called it Hyperfocus, and was my explanation to my parents for how I could read 120 to 200 pages an hour, and not hear anything going on around me, have photographic recall, and works 14 hours without a break figuring something out and not notice the passage of time.
its like this society has found out what the philosophers stone is and is trying to make it into their own thing.
this "state of flow" mess is Nonsense, silly nonsense…….they are talking about the way you are when you take the philosophers stone…….the Philosophers stone is achieved by intaking Sulfur. natural forms of Sulfur.
nice
at 12 minute mark he said 5x is 500% increase. that is incorrect. 2x is 100% increase. etc etc. 5x is 400% increase. 500% of a number is not the same as a 500% increase of a number. 100% of 5 is 5. 100% increase of 5 of 10.
why is this not promoted more @YouTube ?
Thank U so much God bless U ?
Flow shuts off the inner pedofile
I've had a terminal prognosis from over a dozen doctors – from the time I was a baby and into my 30's – I love hearing these stories from those who defied the prognosis of doctors.
This is the best eye opener I have ever seen amazing to say the least
As a gamer, flow is challenged by others flow.
Rg3’s knees aren’t safe.
