About this listen

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.

It took me a while to finish. Not because it was boring, but rather because it was so jam-packed with information. I couldn't take it all in at once. This is one of those books that I'll have to get the printed copy that I can mark up and highlight and make margin notes in.

I found the book easy to listen to, but like all audio books, hard to refer back to for specific quotes.

I certainly recommend the book if you want to unlock your mind, and rise above your self-imposed status quo.

Fascinating and Practical

There's amazing value here, especially for athletes and creatives. Sometimes it does feel like he's bragging a bit too much but it didn't detract from the value of the information.

Great read, but a little self indulgent.

A must read for creatives who find they get frustrated in their field and want to find flow.

Fantastic.

Although there's some self-promotion in the text, for me it didn't detract from the message of how to achieve phenomenal success by tapping into your neurobiology to attain a flow state.
I thought it was a very worthwhile listen and I will need to listen to it again to extract some of the dense knowledge the book contains.

Interesting route map to success
