Steven Kotler explores flow, the state of consciousness in which people feel and perform their best. Published in 2014, the book draws on years of research and interviews with action and adventure sports athletes such as big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton and skateboarder Danny Way. Kotler explains what happens in the brain during flow and what triggers it, and how these athletes use it to push the limits of human performance. He argues that the same principles can help anyone perform better at work and in daily life.
