    On Today's Episode:
    Being a high achiever comes with many challenges and there are so many insights into how to optimize for success with your time, your performance, and even your neurochemistry. When you can get into a state of flow, the tasks that require your focus to achieve higher levels of success become almost effortless.
    Do you know how to tap into flow at will and truly achieve peak performance?
    When it comes to studying flow, peak performance both mental and physical, and the neurobiology of doing the impossible, Steven Kotler is at the top with the Flow Research Collective. Steven is NY Times bestselling author with two Pulitzer Prize nominations, and over a dozen books all worth reading.
    In this episode, Steven shares his research and insights into The Art of Impossible. From unpacking the habit of inferiority to why “Never Trust Dopamine” is a thing, Steven knocks is out of the park on how flow state, goal setting, and the pursuit of greatness are all tied into achieving the unachievable.
    Stop settling for mediocre and start moving towards your own personal greatness.
    Check out the Art of Impossible: www.amazon.com/Art-Impossible...
    QUOTES:
    “We’ve gotten used to performing at a mediocre level and that’s what we expect, [...] when you level set at mediocre it is going to take extraordinary amounts of motivation and energy to get up to super expert.”
    “Self-awareness is an art form.”
    “Psychology is a metaphor for neurobiology.”
    “Passion is literally the intersection of multiple curiosities.”
    “Flow follows focus, it only shows up when all of our attention is in the right here right now.”
    “We are goal directed creatures. We are either shaped by our fears or our goals.”
    “Goal setting is both about driving motivation and filtering reality. Our goals filter our reality.”
    “As a journalist, you’re taught that the best room to be in is the room where you’re the dumbest.”
    “Being in a good mood is one of the best hacks for creativity.”
    “When you’re in flow, risk taking is up and long term planning is down, [...] have big dreams in flow, but verify them in reality.”
    “I’m not saying don’t learn the weird ass sh*t, but know this is the line and once you step over this line it’s an open question.”

    Tom, my man, you continue to be the king of tangents. Every time he mentions something that makes you curious, whether or not it's on topic, and whether or not he has finished addressing the current question, you literally interrupt him to ask about it, and derail the conversation into something that has nothing to do with why he or we are here. Nobody is watching this video to learn about his writing process, his time as a journalist or magician, or about how to build and manage a creative team. Presumably, we are here to talk about his latest book, about peak performance, and about getting into a flow state. And yet somehow, 75% of this video ended up being about something else. You gotta learn to stay focused.

    At min 7:25 “man is something to be overcome”
    This is a concept in my studies that’s origin is Miyamoto Musashi. He said “Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is victory over lesser men.” From his work “A Book of Five Rings”. As he was also known for his path of the warrior “Dokkodo”

    A fiction book! As a writer Kotler is interesting… yet he only has achieved writing…. The same with Diamandis, which is a God sent last name because it sounds like Diamonds. This of course he uses masterfully to sell hope (as a master marketeer) for a future he describes. Both sell ideas that make us dream and yearn for stuff that may be unattainable. They do know a lot of theoretical fluff that gives us the feeling they know. But, what have they accomplished besides good marketing or one good book after practicing a lot? You, the unknown, who actually perform the work in the real world are the one who do the work. If they provided inspiration like Star Wars, this is their contribution. You performed the miracle!

    TOM! Ive heard you share the quote you think often about before. “Genius is a young man’s game.” When I’ve heard you share your experience with that, I have AGREED in that IT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME! I just had my 64th birthday and I find myself in several very challenging situations at the moment, one of which is that I’m moving from my beautiful HOME that my husband and I have built together for 41 years now! I love him with all my heart as well as OUR FAMILY we’ve made together with our 26 year old daughter (who btw is OUTSTANDING and I’m about to create some (probably MANY!),online courses for parents. I understand on a very deep level a lot of what people and parents especially do not know or understand and how URGENT IT IS to get this information out to the world!
    I JUST KNOW THAT IVE ALWAYS SOMEHOW KNOWN WHAT I LEARNED MYSELF THROUGH BECOMING A PARENT MYSELF…..and now we have a daughter who adores us as we do her, who lives independently of us, who is a productive,creative,excited,
    curious,ambitious; just a generally well sustained balanced person who yes, of course has every single issue to deal with and problem to
    “conquer a learning from”, and also has the resilience and self love and self awareness and most importantly, the confidence that comes from having had experiences that contain the knowledge and the wisdom that arrives as a result of all of that, TO BELIEVE THAT SHE CAN tackle new skills…and just the rest of it haha…… all I’m saying is that SHE IS OKAY…,.. not TOO haha traumatized by us, but sees her own therapist by choice to deal with all of that…… so of course we MESSED IT ALL UP HAHHAHA MANY TIMES but you get the general idea….. and she gets mad at me now , in a fun loving ENOUGH haha way that for having always said she was my personal experiment with love, haha BUT SHE WAS AND SHE KNOWS IT…. Anyhoo point being I HAVE DONE MY EXPERIMENT FROM MY HYPOTHESIS ABOUT HOW TO RAISE HER instinctively through a set of parents’ intuition and both knowledge and skill gathering . I proved it to ME haha (all that’s really important righto?, and I look around the world today and I see many wounded children in adult garb and it’s just very sad and I lift us all up every day) ok
    I digress ..,., i wanted you to understand THAT I HAVE BECOME OUTRAGEOUSLY PASSIONATE about making this happen AND FROM THAT SPACE I HAVE ALSO BECOME OR RECOGNIZED THAT I ACTUALLY AM ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE PEOPLE IVE EVER MET!!!!
    GENIUS IS A YOUNG MANS GAME……..,.,.,
    it HIT me on today’s podcast Tom! IM A VERY PHILOSOPHICAL PERSON AND THAT QUOTE resonated with me as TRUTH; that is what scared me soooooo much until this podcast!!!!!!
    I HAVE BECOME YOUNG AGAIN in my mind and heart and consciousness and I understand that this is so much bigger than me! I’m actually haha and sheesh, JUST NOT THAT IMPORTANT in that I do not even NEED to do it all..,,, I just need to do what I can do acquiring skills (I can’t even use a laptop today TOM! I’m afraid and I SERIOUSLY NEED TO CATCH UP haha and ITS EMBARRASSING!!!!), pulling my knowledge and wisdom together, improving myself across ALL INDUSTRIES is how I feel it……. so I WAS sort of almost frightened into freezing mode every time I heard you or thought about that quote! But guess what??? I did not think I was creative!!!! OMGOSH IVE FOUND OUT I AM SO INCREDIBLY CREATIVE Tom! And though my knees are knocking together I JUST GOT IT TONIGHT!!!!!
    YES! GENIUS IS A YOUNG MANS GAME!!!!! Just NOT young on the MAN MADE CALENDAR.,……. YOUNG IN HEART MIND SPIRIT AND EMOTIONS!!!!!! THAT IS WHY I CAN COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND NOW WHY THIS QUOTE HAS ALWAYS RESONATED AS TRUE WITH ME!!!!! It IS true! Just NOT true through the lens on my before your podcast glasses haha!!! THANK YOU! NOW I HAVE A NEW PAIR!!! And my heart completely makes peace now with this quote resonating true!!!! I wonder Tom, does any of this have a ring of feeling true for you???? I am attempting to be of service ……
    Love and Joy,
    Cathy
