I’m going to list some resources for you to be able to read and use to navigate through the landscape from 2020 and on. (Yes, I am a huge fan of Kotler’s writing and his books. Thank you, Steven.)

- Stealing Fire: by Jamie Wheal and Steven Kotler — more advanced insight into flow, how to steal the fire from the gods for yourself to have ultimate peak performance. Read stories from the US Navy SEALs…
