Most people assume that aging means inevitable decline—but health and mindset can tell a different story. At 53, Steven Kotler set out to defy the so-called “long slow rot” of aging by learning how to park ski, a feat most experts believed was biologically impossible past 35. Along the way, he uncovered that many of our mental and physical abilities are “use-it-or-lose-it” skills—ones we can actively train to extend performance, youthfulness, and joy. In this episode, Steven shares the science behind peak performance aging, how mindset shapes longevity, and why dynamic challenges like action sports may be the secret to staying young and profiting. In this episode, Hala and Steven will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (01:22) The Inspiration Behind Studying Peak Performance (02:25) Debunking the Long Slow Rot Theory (04:16) Use It or Lose It: Physical Skills (06:54) The Importance of Dynamic Activities (16:57) Mindset and Aging (21:29) Overcoming Personal Traumas (27:59) Fluid vs. Crystallized Intelligence (32:43) Advancements in Regenerative Medicine (34:07) Learning and Cognitive Health (34:52) Three Types of Thinking for Better Aging (35:42) Business Opportunities in Hiring Older Adults (37:20) The Importance of Physical and Mental Activity (42:07) The Power of Authentic Learning (50:51) Insights from the Blue Zones (56:33) The Role of Flow in Aging and Performance Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world's leading experts on human performance. Steven is the author of 11 bestsellers (out of fourteen books), including The Art of Impossible and The Future is Faster Than You Think. His work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes, translated into over 50 languages, and has appeared in over 100 publications, including the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and the Harvard Business Review. In his latest book, Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad, Steven tests his knowledge and theories on his own aging body in a quest to become an expert skier at age 53.

There's a moment when everything clicks. Time dissolves, distractions vanish, and you become one with whatever you're doing—whether it's writing, coding, competing, or creating. It feels effortless, but it's far from accidental. Flow State is the pinnacle of human performance where focus, creativity, and productivity align in perfect harmony. We've all tasted it. Few know how to find it again. Even fewer understand how to control it. For decades, scientists and peak performers have sought to demystify the concept of Flow, turning what was once seen as a rare gift into a repeatable process. But hidden beneath all the talk of peak performance lies a truth most people never hear: The name of the game is struggle. Flow begins in Struggle. In other words, the task at hand must be challenging. If you are a skilled painter, writer, or public speaker and don't test your skills with uncomfortable challenges, you diminish the odds of entering the flow state.  If you avoid or don't know how to handle that struggle, you'll never reach the state where your best work and self come alive.  Today, we will explore what legends like Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and Steven Kotler revealed about Flow. But more importantly, we'll uncover how Dr. JC Doornick's Interface Response System (IRS) could be the X-Factor. This conscious tool helps you navigate adversity, shift your perspective, and hack into Flow on demand. Because once you understand how to change the way you look at struggle, the struggle becomes your gateway, and life starts to Make Sense.   Episode 90 Resources: Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi  - https://amzn.to/3F4NvAP Rise of Superman - https://amzn.to/4kcMdmd The Power of Full Engagement - https://amzn.to/437GUxs   ►Follow Dr. JC Doornick and the Makes Sense Academy: Instagram: / drjcdoornick   Facebook:  / makessensepodcast   YouTube:  / drjcdoornick     MAKES SENSE PODCAST SUBSCRIBE/RATE/REVIEW & SHARE our new podcast.

You don't need to scale a mountain or surf a 100-foot wave to hit your peak. In fact, unlocking your full potential might be a lot simpler, and a lot more boring, than you think. In this episode, I unpack the science behind “flow,” that elusive state where time vanishes, focus sharpens, and we perform at our absolute best. Inspired by the work of author and journalist Steven Kotler, I dive into how elite athletes, creatives, and everyday people are using flow to redefine what's possible.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room). And/or…Unlock practical and tactical insights on how to master your mindset and optimize your happiness directly to your inbox.If you're a glutton for punishment and want more swift kicks in the mind follow me on social:InstagramYouTubeLeave a review and tell me how I suck so I can stop doing that or you can also tell me about things you like.

I'm skeptical of any claim of a “formula” regarding personal evolution. And you'll notice I say “a formula” and not “the formula.” But many things can be boiled down to some core ingredients. The difference in my opinion is this formula is less like a cooking recipe you just easily mix and bake and is more like an intense formulaic math equation you must diligently work out. I feel Steven Kotler does a masterful job of deducing peak performance down into its essence and from it you can see where you need to give focus and attention and work. Steven is a New York Times-bestselling author, an award-winning journalist and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. He is one of the world's leading experts on human performance and has become very well known for his insight on flow state. Steven has authored multiple bestsellers, including The Future is Faster Than You Think, Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman, and Bold and Abundance. His work has been nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes and translated into over 40 languages. The following conversation happened after he published The Art of Impossible and I bring it back to you again because it's worth revisiting.

Steven Kotler is the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective and a leading expert in peak performance. He is an 11-time national bestselling author, known for successful books such as “The Art of Impossible,” and “The Future is Faster Than You Think.” In this episode, we talked about the science and application of flow, recovery and energy management, motivation and goal-setting…

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 Talk, he provides a tour of the current research focusing on "flow states”, or 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" has been called the most important management metric for building great innovation teams. As a result 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? Stay tuned to find out! Originally published in April of 2014. Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we look back on a fascinating deep dive with renowned author and peak performance expert Steven Kotler. The conversation centers around Kotler's book, "The Art of Impossible," which explores the intricate relationship between motivation, neurobiology, and the pursuit of extraordinary achievements. This episode will break down the key insights to help you harness your potential and achieve remarkable results. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Understanding Intrinsic Motivation Steven Kotler begins by unpacking the concept of intrinsic motivation, which he identifies as a crucial driver for human performance. He highlights five key elements: Curiosity, Passion, Purpose, Autonomy, and Mastery. These components not only fuel our desire to excel but also enhance our focus and engagement in activities. Kotler emphasizes that these intrinsic motivators are hardwired into our biology, suggesting that when we align our actions with these motivators, we can achieve remarkable results with less effort. Kotler illustrates this point by referencing the neurochemicals involved in passion and love, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine. He recalls the intense focus and attention one experiences when falling in love, noting that this heightened state of awareness comes effortlessly. This natural inclination towards passion and engagement, he argues, is a testament to our biological design, which favors extraordinary achievements.   The Consequences of Not Going Big A striking assertion made by Kotler is that not striving for greatness can have detrimental effects on our well-being. He argues that human beings are inherently wired for extraordinary accomplishments, and failing to pursue big goals can lead to negative outcomes. This perspective challenges conventional views on motivation and success, suggesting that complacency can be harmful. Kotler points out that many of the issues plaguing modern society, such as depression and anxiety, can be linked to a lack of meaningful work and engagement. He identifies eight major causes of depression, two of which—genetics and severe trauma—are often highlighted. However, he emphasizes that these factors account for less than half of the equation. The remaining causes are rooted in our biology and motivation, particularly the absence of work that aligns with our values, passions, and the opportunity for mastery.   The Importance of Meaningful Work One of the most significant insights from Kotler's discussion is the idea that meaningful work is essential for mental health and fulfillment. He explains that when individuals engage in work that lacks curiosity, passion, or autonomy, they are more likely to experience feelings of emptiness and depression. This lack of alignment with intrinsic motivators can lead to a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction. Kotler argues that the modern workforce often overlooks the importance of these intrinsic motivators, leading to widespread disengagement. He stresses that when people are not allowed to pursue their passions or develop their skills, they miss out on the flow state—a mental state of complete immersion and focus that is crucial for peak performance.

When was the last time you were in a flow state?  As we enter this final stretch before Thanksgiving, I want to share some insights inspired by The Art of Impossible by Steven Kotler. Kotler explores how to harness our biology to enter "flow"—that highly focused, energized state where we lose track of time. At this busy time of year, it's a great opportunity to use our strengths to achieve flow more often. Think about strengths as your natural gateway to flow. For example, if Learner is in your top strengths, you may find flow in skill acquisition. If Competition ranks high for you, you might feel in flow in high-stakes situations or by setting up small, daily challenges. This week, I encourage you to reflect on a recent flow experience: when was the last time you lost track of time, and what strength were you using? Identifying these moments can help you create intentional, strength-based pathways to flow every day.   To find out more about my work, please visit Dana Williams Consulting.

In this episode of Flow Radio, we explore the intricate science of breathing with Dr. Jack Feldman, a world-renowned neuroscientist. Dr. Feldman, a professor at UCLA, has spent decades uncovering the secrets of how our brains control this vital function. His pioneering research has led to groundbreaking discoveries, such as identifying and naming a key brain area responsible for breathing rhythms. Tune in as Dr. Feldman, along with bestselling author Steven Kotler and Dr. Michael Mannino, break down: The neuroscience behind how we breathe The connection between breathwork and emotional health Why understanding breathing is crucial for peak performance Whether you're curious about the science of breathing or looking for ways to improve your life, this episode is full of easy-to-understand insights and practical tips.  In This Episode: 00:02 Introducing a Legend 03:32 Evolution of Breathing in Mammals 07:41 The Role of the Diaphragm in Breathing 10:58 Understanding Sighs: A Physiological and Emotional Perspective 15:21 The Evolutionary Advantage of Calming Sighs 19:00 Breathing Rhythms and Brain Function 22:27 Disrupting Neural Circuits for Mental Health 25:45 Breathwork and Synaptic Plasticity 30:55 The Connection Between Endorphins and Breathwork 42:05 The Link Between Breathing and Flow States About The Guest: Jack Feldman revolutionized our understanding of basic physiological processes controlled by the brain by identifying and characterizing brain sites critical for breathing. He discovered two discrete brain structures critical for regulating breathing. Combining cutting edge techniques, development of new experimental preparations, and expertise in a range of disciplines, Jack identified several critical breathing functions originating in these brain areas including generation of inspiratory (i.e., inhaling) and expiratory (i.e., exhaling) patterns for normal breathing and for sighing. Most recently, Jack and his colleagues investigated mechanisms by which changes in breathing patterns (e.g., breathing practice) can affect emotion and cognition. His research continues to explore how the brain controls breathing, paving the way for further clinically relevant discoveries of mechanisms underlying breathing-related diseases, including sleep apnea, neurodegenerative diseases, and the positive effects of breathing practice on emotion. Jack is a recipient of the Hodgkin Huxley Katz Prize, the 125th Faculty Research Lecture UCLA, and the National Institutes of Health Outstanding Investigator Award in 2017 and 2023.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Gary Brecka, Steven Kotler, Jay Campbell, Tyna Moore, Dave Asprey, JJ Virgin and Barton Scott and in this episode, you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.   (3:13) Gary Brecka Depression is often linked to low serotonin levels, but instead of directly increasing serotonin, treatments like SSRIs are used. These medications enhance serotonin availability in the brain by preventing its reabsorption. While effective, it's important to consider a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes and therapy.   (8:07) Steven Kotler Good nutrition and hydration are essential for maintaining energy levels, but everyone's dietary needs vary. It's important to tailor your diet to your individual needs. Additionally, social support is crucial; lacking it can lead to cognitive and energy deficits. Make sure to prioritize connections with others for overall well-being.   (14:22) Jay Campbell Testosterone deficiency affects a significant portion of men aged 17 to 40, which is concerning. This issue can impact energy, mood, and overall health. It's important for men to monitor their hormone levels and seek medical advice if needed, as proper management can improve quality of life.   (18:09) Tyna Moore People who strength train, like wrestlers, often excel at rehabilitation. When injured, they continue their routines by deloading and maintaining movement patterns, which aids in recovery and promotes overall well-being. If you experience an injury, consider adapting your workouts rather than stopping entirely, and consult a professional for guidance.   (23:21) Dave Asprey The idea that fasting leads to starvation mode and weight gain is a common misconception. Many believe that eating six to eight times a day is necessary for energy, but this isn't always true. Fasting can actually promote metabolic benefits and doesn't necessarily cause fat gain. Consider exploring intermittent fasting as a potential strategy, but consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it suits your individual needs.   (29:05) JJ Virgin Artificial sweeteners, such as Acesulfame K, can impact insulin levels similarly to glucose. Some, like Splenda, may lead to glucose intolerance in just a week. Be cautious with artificial sweeteners and monitor your body's response; consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.   (34:05) Barton Scott To maximize your ability to enjoy life, build a successful company, and help others, it's essential to focus on clarity and purpose. Regularly assess your goals to ensure they are worthwhile. Remember, if you're not testing, you're guessing. Continuously evaluate and adjust your approach based on feedback and results to achieve meaningful success.   Tags:  @garybrecka  @stevenkotler  @jaycampbell333  @dave.asprey  @jj.virgin  @askbarton
