Steven Kotler is a scientist, bestselling author, and the founder and executive director of the Flow Research Collective. A Distinguished Research Fellow at the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences at Florida Atlantic University, he studies the neurobiology of flow, creativity, and peak performance. The New York Times called him “one of the world’s leading experts on human performance.” His methods have been used by more than a million people—from Navy SEALs to executives at Google—to amplify learning, productivity, and performance.
Ps. His science fiction is also quite popular.

Science
The Flow Research Collective started with a question: what happens in the brain when humans perform at their absolute best?
That question led to a body of peer-reviewed research, which led to a training methodology, which led to 35,000 people in 156 countries across 28 industries learning to access peak performance on demand. Forbes called FRC one of the fastest-growing companies in America.
But the research never stopped—and it revealed something unexpected.
The same neuroscience that unlocks peak performance has profound implications for mental health. Today, FRC is a nonprofit R&D organization applying that science where it matters most: PTSD and depression in combat veterans and first responders, and the neurological challenges of ALS.
We study the brain at its best to develop treatments for when it is at its worst.

What others say
In lectures and trainings combined, Steven has helped over a million people harness flow to increase performance. He is the trusted authority by individuals and organizations interested in tapping into their highest potential, and followed and endorsed by such leadership giants as Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington and Ray Kurzweil.
