- What does it take to be your best when it matters most? Author of 7 bestselling books, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and Director of Research at the Flow Genome Project, Steven Kotler studies ultimate human performance, what is actually possible for our species, and where - if anywhere - our limits lie.
Steven Kotler is a New York Times-bestselling author, an award-winning journalist and cofounder and director of research for the Flow Genome Project. He is one of the world’s leading experts on ultimate human performance. His work has been translated into over 40 languages and his articles have appeared in over 80 publications, including The New York Times Magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Time, Wired, and Forbes. He is also the cofounder of the Rancho de Chihuahua dog sanctuary.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
The secret to flow is having a dream or goal that no one can take from you. Creating your purpose and becoming one with that purpose or objective. The only real reason people don't enter the flow state is because they neglect the conditioning and practice it takes to break your outer shell of conscious thinking. I love how he's created a platform to research this but just have a one on one with someone who's truly committed to their ambitions instead of limiting flow to just chemicals, kinda reminds of the pill from limitless
I love the feeling of being completely focused and in a flow state. As someone with ADD it doesn't happen as often as I'd like, but I appreciate it every time it does.
This is a New Frontier in human performance.
This is the future, Very important topic.
Thank you and well done. Excellent Talk!
Being in flow is the best feeling: when you're hyper-focused, working on something you're passionate about and obsessed with, expressing your creativity, time seems to disappear, and you feel like you're experiencing real momentum and progress... ugh, so good.
thanks for the nice explanation!
@@DarkMelodies-hv9wf yes i have felt this way
I call this getting hyper-focused. I can spend 10 hours working on something when I'm in this state. I'll mess with the idea until it is boiled down into its powerful core concept that is easy to understand and communicate. I really enjoyed this video
It's so cool to know about those triggers that draw you in the present moment. It helps me a lot to get to the present, to maximum focus. Thanks a lot Steven Kotler, thank you TEDs for a chance to learn more for better performance :)
A walking meditative theta flow is the key to doing whatever you want in life
Adrian Hughes how do you access that?

Wonderful talk, I feel invigorated just by listening to him 🌞
Me: The perfect talk doesnt exist.
Steven: lemme get to my flow bro
Steven Kotler shocks it in this talk. If you are interested in ultimate human performance and how to be your best when it matters the most, check it out.
"Our inner Woody Allen" :D That has got to the be the best way to describe self-doubt. inner critic, etc. I've ever heard.
I have been searching for you sir🙏
Very informative talk
Excited about applying FLOW to leadership conversations. Imagine having FUN at work! The key is negotiating accountability.
I would love an update on this comment.
@taylorchetty9146 listen to conversations as how we navigate the world around us. Negotiations are embedded in all the stories we tell ourselves and others. How we account for "value exchange" in these conversations can't be fully codified into financial metrics. In addition to EXPENDABLE value (material goods), there's also EXTENDABLE value such as trust and resoprocity. Then there's EXPANDABLE value such as love, hope and respect. Humans need all three but our predominate negotiation "paradyms" limit our attention to only expendable value ($). Finding the language and understanding that supports all three types of value are manifested all along the way is the way forward. Hope this makes sense.
I love a good generalization "everything that force you to focus on the now help produce flowstate"
I'm currently reading his book "Chasing Fires" and it is pretty interesting!
...focusing on the ‘rate of transformation’ from trigger to flow. Cutting your learning curve in half. It’s a state of consciousness.
This is Mind blowing
Individual Triggers vs Group Triggers that are precursors to the state of flow and enhanced peak creativity-performance etc. See list at 9:58
Omg Thank you ,i am addictive to art ,,,creativity and constant new ideas all the time ,, I thought I am crazy 😜 I also in all sports mm❤️💝💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
As a designer of three decades- I can attest to the human ability to get in 'flow state with intent a d concentration. I used to feel that absolutely nothing at that period can distract me...These are the times when I have been at my highest creativity in fashion design. I used to say my laser focus'...the truth is we used to call it simply inspiration,. Listening to Jean Michel Jarre music and Pink Floyd helped a lot....
FLOW - What a beautiful state of mind that is.....and it can be achieved naturally - without any outside substances....🙏
Awesome talk! Steven Kotler presents such an actual topic. You should listen to The Art of Charm Podcast too. He was invited last week.
Brilliant and inspiring talk
Great job Steven! This is my new go-to video for sharing with people who need to get in the know. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow! Can you keep your workshops on flow triggers in Mumbai?
So this is what Bruce Lee was trying to explain with his "Be like water" speech.
False, it is what he did explain.
@@alonzojpelzer for real i just simply asked God out loud how to be a Jedi. This is what he put in front of me like 2hrs later.... damn. He workin!
Flow follows focus.
Am I missing something or is the key or “trigger” to flow to focus on the here and now?
Trianglet: motivasjon, kreativitet og læring
6:40 "muscle reaction time increases" - he surely meant: muscle reaction time decreases...
Skip to 10:04. He mainly provides definitions and observations of flow, and does not get into specifics of how to get into the flow state, in my opinion.
I love watching the tv series called "The Rush". Watching the daredevils alone can trigger flow.
I didnt get anything from that my adhd is badd. Did he say like a simple 4 step process or no?
Great talk, Great topic, very important lecture in the world of distraction .
🌈🙏🌷💜🦋🌿
Thank you!!
just go with tha flow ok
What book he has talked about in this talk ?
I’m sure if we figure what fires up in your brain when flow state happens in is best state. And you make a pill to fire the same points in your brain you can have something like limitless pill. But the best way would be if we can figure out how to do it naturally and show the world how to do it. Can you imagine what world we would love in?
I am totally sold on the idea of flow. However, the "how" bit, as suggested by the title, is missing .....
5:12 i entered flow of watching teds
Same here! Weird!
How do you think flow is affected by handedness?
If you're handy, it flows.
At the end of the day, this exercise teaches us that, in many cases, looking terrible in public isn’t as bad as we believe. Sure, we might get some looks and giggles, but these don’t hurt, now do they? The Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope used to sleep in a barrel on the streets, walking around in ragged clothes, ‘pleasured’ himself in public, and insulted people who walked past him. He didn’t care what people thought of him. Therefore, no one was able to hurt him.
What book do I need to read from him, to get more about this topic?
The art of impossible by steven kotler
these cannot be replicated. someone is just good at certain things. no big deals.
I used to think the flow is a state you’re in when you are performing a task you already know how to perform pretty well..A signal you’re improving in whatever task you’re engaged in is a kind of frustration plus a feeling of mild agitation..Even though I really admire what Kotler has been doing,I think he missed a point when he talks about flow states..
He did not explain it very Widely I guess. He only explain about something only because it is a ted talk. Is there is more information about flow state like a course or a book?
I think Kotler is a true expert in peak performances..but it seems to me that he neglects to talk about specific neurological pathways you can’t ignore if you really want to explain the reasons for elite performances in any field..I’m not saying he doesn’t know them..but only mentioning flow as a way to get what you need in life is a little bit outrageous..but I am nobody..He is an expert who has written myriads of books..I have been following Andrew Huberman’s podcasts for a while and I found him much more precise and knowledgeable..👍
@@arvindsaini276 decades of research
If you're doing the same thing over and over again with no challenge, novelty nor risk, you cannot enter flow. You can enter it more easily once you acquire more knowledge on a subject then when you're new at it, because:
a)You have more tools are your disposition for creative problem solving.
b)The knowledge and practice you have acquired gives you confidence, which incites you to be more creative and risk-taking, thus the expression "go with the flow".
@@arvindsaini276 yeass there's a book. The Art of Impossible by Steven kotler
Woo
You know, when flow happens, it coincides with the 7 chakras being activated in harmony.
the fk? do you HAVE to mix science with bs? I can't understand you stupid folks.
I think the 7 chakras thing was the mithological explanation to the chemistry that happens in the brain in times when we didn't know how it worked, but now, we can engineer that mechanism (the same that budhism has been teaching how to wake for thousand of years, but with science behind).
I agree, it also awakens Sharangan allowing Susano'o. If you can condense it, you can use Special laser beams. Im glad someone as smart as me is here.
mind blown XD
I did not know that. Very interesting, thanks.
winning champion relies to own flow and gearing up or inner critic to declutter junk ambition when failure is coming closer
"ultimate human performance" Let's all us human together, get better everyday
This guy literally sounds like George Clooney!
I didn't understand how after breaking bones he became better? Please explain
He also had Lyme's disease and was in a hospital bed for three years.
blackbirdx7777 I think he was speaking of the athletes he was following. In the few weeks or months he was away healing, by the time he got back, the athletes had made incredible strides in their performance.
These TED talks that seem to tease self improvement, instead of focusing on how to actually use the techniques taught others. Meh
Slide down into the funnel with some money.
@@Darklord-uo3re There is certainly something to all this, but they aren't letting us in on any specifics.
Meditate daily
Be aware of your body
Awaken to ego
It's a talk not a training.
Break-ups can also trigger flow. Why do people or broken-hearted can understand better the message of certain poems or songs while they are in this state, or why can they even compose or create artworks in this state? A dark flow.
Buddhists have been telling us this for years 🙏
Flow = Meaning
Any J.P. fans?
I hate to be that guy, but... I don't think flow has anything to do with advancing records in certain sports. I would say that it has everything to do with the novelty, complexity, and unquantified variables of the sport. Are baseball players the only dudes not using flow? Without PED's all major baseball records are pretty much solid, because the games variables don't change, and we've been doing it a long time. If I climb half dome faster than others, it may be due to my new technique, equipment, training skills, grip chalk, or even secret route. So many things to change the playing field; not the state of focus. Anyway, this is not a point of contention with the "state of flow", just the relation to sports records.
Matthew Perdue bro..I think flow is a state where it triggers our ultimate instinct and perception of knowledge by concentrating on a thing and analyzing how it works and planning for that in a limited amount of time which can't be done by others... and it's not anything supernatural or spiritual.. or magical state where we can do anything , without knowing nothing.. and flow state can help to study the objects faster..
He tells us flow exists but no techniques or helpful ways to achieve it... makes me think the talk is a big plug.

Being the best in the world at some certain thing or specialty really isn't so hard, there isn't a lot of competition at the top. Just sayin'
Lance Winslow What are you good at?
So completely off base with this comment. Wow.
I agree with you there’s not a lot of competition people nowadays just don’t know what hard work really is. it’s a life style
meh common sense
Wow! This guy is a grifter - he takes flow and makes it into BS & pseudo-propaganda. Where is the scientific evidence for any of this ? If there isn't, then it's just sales and marketing and advertising.
Boring...
Somebody should’ve proofread this speech.
Gems! @dafingaz
