Description
Steven is an entrepreneur and writer whose work has appeared in just about every publication you can think of-- New York Times, Forbes, Wired, TIME, you name it and was nominated for a Pultizer for his book “A Small Furry Prayer. I wanted to have Steven on here because he has a very unique focus in his latest book “Stealing Fire”: understanding peak human performance -- not in an abstract sense, but the specific mechanisms that make people like world-class athletes, Navy SEALs, and entrepreneurs able to do the incredible things they do and more importantly, how that formula can be reverse-engineered and applied to YOUR life. Today on the podcast, * We get deep into one of Steven’s signature themes which is “flow:” the optimal state of consciousness where we feel + perform our best * Why mindfulness is a super important part of all this-- Steven says that many of us live in a constant state of mild fight or flight that overtaxes our nervous system * The implications of all this specifically for creatives - what Steven learned from studying ravers, CEOs, SEALs is actually directly applicable to us Enjoy!
