Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!

“The exact same things that will get you from seriously subpar to normal, will get you from normal to Superman. Peak performance is nothing more or less than getting our biology to work for us rather than against us.” - Steven Kotler

As individuals we are all capable of so much more than we know, and everyone is hardwired for peak performance. Unfortunately our potential is often invisible, especially to ourselves, but today’s Finding Brave expert guest reveals the way peak performance can be used to literally do the impossible.

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.

Author of ten bestsellers (out of thirteen books total), including The Art of Impossible, The Future Is Faster Than You Think, Stealing Fire, The Rise of Superman, Bold and Abundance.

Steven’s work has been nominated for two Pulitzer prizes, translated into over 40 languages, and appeared in over 100 publications, including the New York Times Magazine, Wired, Atlantic Monthly, TIME and the Harvard Business Review. He is also the cohost of Flow Research Collective Radio, a top ten iTunes science podcast.

His new book is The Art of the Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer, which came out this January.

Luminaries and some of our world’s most noted figures have praised Steven’s work including Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington, Bill Clinton, Sir Richard Branson and many more.

Almost everyone I meet, in some way or another, wants to fulfil his or her highest potential but has very little idea how to do it. Listening to this conversation with Steven is a wonderful place to start, as his life itself is a lesson in achieving the impossible using peak performance.
