I am Mission Laciani, founder of Mind Valley, the School for Human Transformation.

You're listening to the Mind Valley podcast where we'll be bringing you the greatest teachers

and thought leaders on the planet to discuss the world's most powerful ideas and personal growth for mind, body, spirit and work.

Hi and welcome to the Mind Valley Podcast. I'm so thrilled to be bringing you someone who is perhaps one of the most intelligent men I've ever met,

Stephen Kotler. He's an award-winning journalist, a rock-star author who works on the

intersection of science, culture, and human performance.

Stephen is probably the most read author.

For me personally in the last four years, his books like Abundance, The Rise of Superman,

bold which he co-authored with Peter Diemandis and more recently

stealing fire were among my favorite books between 2011 and today. His books cover evolutionary theories,

psycho pharmacology, neuroscience among many other things. Today you'll be listening to the

catalytic event that got Stephen

diving deep into the science of flow, which led him to creating the Flau-Genome project, which

is changing the way companies and individuals around the world from Silicon Valley executives to

high performance athletes put themselves into peak human performance dates.

So let's get started with Stephen Cotton. I'm Viscian Lachiani and this is the Mind Valley podcast.

Mind Valley community, welcome Stephen Kotler to the set. This is going to be such an interesting consciousness engineering conversation because this man is brilliant. His ideas on flow have influenced people for the last

decade. And also you may not know this, but Stephen Kotler is one of the authors I

most prolificly read.

There was abundance, the book he co-authored with Peter Di Amandis.

I was a big endorser of that book.

We introduced that book to the Mind Valley community
