Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and the Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective, as well as being one of the world’s leading experts on human performance.

Steven joins Angela this week to talk about peak performance and longevity, specifically focussing upon how to optimise peak performance aging, as well as how to access flow states, and what factors may be holding you back from achieving them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A study has found that by accessing flow states, we can make ourselves 500% more productive and thereby achieve far more in far shorter a time.
• Many think that in order to push through to a productive state, you have to steel yourself and find resilience. But this is a recipe for burnout.
• Flow is the optimal state of consciousness where everything outside of your task just fades away - time dilates and we experience a freeze-frame effect. We get so sucked into what we're doing that time has no meaning.
• As we move into flow, different things happen to the brain. A deactivation of the pre-frontal cortex takes place, which manipulates the way we experience time.

BEST MOMENTS

'When most people think about motivation, the only tool they reach for is grit'

'We don't just gain mastery in flow, but also wisdom and empathy'

'Flow is an optimal state of consciousness'

'When there's more dopamine in the brain, time speeds up. When there's less, time slows down'
