  1. The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance by  Steven Kotler.
    http://alturl.com/e3vi8
    In this groundbreaking book, New York Times–bestselling author Steven Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance. Drawing on over a decade of research and first-hand reporting with dozens of top action and adventure sports athletes like big wave legend Laird Hamilton, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of “flow,” an optimal state of consciousness in which we perform and feel our best.
    Building a bridge between the extreme and the mainstream, The Rise of Superman explains how these athletes are using flow to do the impossible and how we can use this information to radically accelerate performance in our own lives.
    At its core, this is a book about profound possibility; about what is actually possible for our species; about where—if anywhere—our limits lie.

  2. Great show! If you are interested in ultimate human performance and how to be your best when it matters the most, Steven Kotler is the man. He's been a guest at The Art of Charm Podcast last week. Better check that out , too!

  3. I'm really, really glad Steven mentioned Service alongside Flow. Flow gives us awareness and power to be of maximum service. Flow for Flow sake has no potency. When I first discovered Flow, I was headed towards becoming a Flow Junkie until I applied service.
