My guest today is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer, author of multiple best-selling books and one of the world's leading experts on flow.

Steven Kotler founded the Flow Research Collective in 2019 and has written category-defining books like The Rise of Superman, Stealing Fire and The Art of the Impossible. His most recent work is fiction – a thriller set in the near future called, The Devil's Dictionary.

We had a fascinating conversation exploring:

• Steven's 20-year career as a journalist, writing for over 70 of the world's leading publications and becoming a New York Times bestselling author.
• The latest of the books he's written with Singularity University and X-Prize founder Peter Diamandis.
• Why Steven uses fiction to explore the solutions to some of the world's biggest problems.
• What the latest in flow research can teach us about reaching our potential.
• Making creativity a core value.
