Best-selling author and peak performance expert Steven Kotler decodes the secrets of those elite performers - athletes, artists, scientists, CEOs, and more - who have changed our definition of the possible, teaching us how we too can stretch far beyond our capabilities, making impossible dreams much more attainable for all of us.

What does it take to accomplish the impossible? What does it take to shatter our limitations, exceed our expectations, and turn our biggest dreams into our most recent achievements? We are capable of so much more than we know - that’s the message at the core of The Art of Impossible.

Building upon cutting-edge neuroscience and more than 20 years of research, best-selling author, peak performance expert and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, Steven Kotler lays out a blueprint for extreme performance improvement. If you want to aim high, here is the playbook to make it happen!

Inspirational and aspirational, pragmatic and accessible, The Art of Impossible is a life-changing experience disguised as a how-to manual for peak performance that anyone can use to shoot for the stars...space suit not included.

I bought this book after listening to a podcast and was excited to hear the ideas that Steven had for accessing flow in everyday life. However the reader of this book doesn’t portray much enthusiasm. I had a really hard time connecting with the message in some places along the way. I have ordered myself a physical copy and look forward the reading it myself.

Most of us want to progress into something, whatever it may be, it is sometimes hard to find the time/drive/etc to do the work we know is necessary for it. This book not only explains why that is so but is packed with useful resources, information that I can confirm pushed me (at least) to be more driven and more consistent into my personal development. Don't expect a "recipe" here but you will find an understanding of why some "recipes" might not work for you and how you can make your own, how you can control your drive and flow and seemingly turn "no time" into useful optimal time without it being a disruptive influence in your life.

Simply packed with usefulness

This book has something for everyone. Even if you are not going for the impossible, the approach and understanding of flow creation can be applied thru-our life. Who knows you maybe able to obtain a high hard goal, on the way to impossible.

Several reads required at different paces. Notes, glossary building, self illustration. And redo. Plan on a quarterly re-read.

A life degree in a book

This is a very in depth book about peak performance for us mere humans. It is written by someone who has used it themselves. It gives up-to-date scientific research to back up his findings.

All though some of it was a little over my head, I can understand the the gist of it. I am looking forward to applying it to daily routines and see great results happen!

A great reference for peak performance!
