Episode Details

Steven Kotler is a world-leading expert on flow, a speaker, and a best-sellign author. He explains how flow, a state of optimal consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best, is at the core of great athletic accomplishments (as well as creative or scientific ones), and is something very much trainable and attainable for any triathlete.     IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
