Summary

Is it possible to unlock new levels of flow, performance, and learning as you age?

Have you heard the saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks?” Do you believe that there’s nothing you can do to stop your physical and mental skills from deteriorating as you get older? If you do, you’re not alone. But these are nothing more than LIEs based on old ideas.

I’m thrilled to have Steven Kotler on our show today. Steven is the Executive Director of The Flow Research Collective, an award-winning journalist, and bestselling author of over a dozen books. He’s here to talk about his latest book, Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad.

You can’t do anything about growing older. But you can grow better. Research shows that if you’re losing skills as you age, it’s because you simply aren’t using them. If you want to sustain high levels of performance later and longer in life, this episode is for you.

***If you’re inspired, I want to invite you to join me in my brand NEW 10-day course, specifically designed to boost your productivity. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I give you step-by-step guides using the accelerated learning model to help you get more done and achieve your goals.
