Stealing Fire : How Silicon Valley, the Navy Seals, and Maverick Scientists are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In this groundbreaking book, New York Times-bestselling author Steven Kotler draws on cutting edge research and first-hand reporting as he explores what makes super performers tick and what we can learn from them.

Why are business moguls going to Burning Man? Why are c-suite level executives going on more meditation retreats now than in the 1970s?

How is MDMA being used to treat trauma patients? Altered states, it turns out, can sharper our decision making capabilities, unleash creativity, fuel creative collaboration, and accelerate our ability to solve problems. Building a bridge between the extreme and the mainstream, Stealing Fire explains how Navy SEALS, Googlers, and Silicon Valley billionaires are using altered states (most are non-drug induced) to radically accelerate performance and fuel happiness. At its core, this is a book about profound possibility; about what is actually possible for our species; about where-if anywhere-our limits lie.
