Summary

How is it that some of the greatest minds in history seem to have otherworldly focus and can get into a rhythm unlike others? Steven Kotler knows why, and it has to do with "flow." There are 20 triggers that can help drive attention into the "right here, right now" and help lead you into that flow. And all of those triggers are far more obvious than you might imagine. Hear Steven's story and how focus can lead to flow!


Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, award winning journalist and the co-founder of The Flow Genome Project
