Stealing Fire by Steven Kotler
How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work
A tour of altered states used by top performers to amplify creativity, learning, and decision-making, weaving neuroscience with case studies from special operations, tech, and athletics. It explains how practices ranging from meditation and breathwork to psychedelics and immersive technologies induce ecstasis and flow, why these states can dramatically increase efficiency and collaboration, and how access to them is being democratized. It also examines the risks, ethical dilemmas, and societal consequences of pursuing state-shifting at scale.
