Summary

Today on Passion Struck, I welcome the Flow Research Collective's Executive Director, Steven Kotler. He is one of the top authorities on human performance and a multi-award-winning journalist. Eleven of Steven's books have achieved bestseller status: The Art of Impossible, The Rise of Superman, Bold, and Abundance. We discuss Gnar Country: Getting Old, Remaining Rad, his most recent publication. Steven Kotler and I Explore His New Book Gnar Country In this conversation, I discuss aging, skill mastery, neuroscience, psychology, and flow with Steven Kotler. In our culture, aging is seen as a physical and mental decline process as we age. Kotler encourages us to engage in "difficult" tasks that foster mastery and creativity to challenge our preconceived views about aging. We adjust our attitude toward aging when we can gradually push past our physical and mental boundaries, ultimately increasing our longevity.
