Literally, I’ve got a mind-blowing business book review today…
National US bestseller ‘Stealing Fire’ is written by Steven Kotler & Jamie Wheal.
Kotler is a top author, journalist & speaker, whilst Wheal is an expert on peak performance & leadership.
They’ve pooled their skills together to produce a block buster of a book that explodes everything we thought we knew about high performance.
The book details how people you’d never expect have learned to harness rare & controversial states of consciousness, to solve critical challenges & outperform their competitors.
Tim Ferriss says nearly all the billionaires he knows in Silicon Valley take psychedelics to help them solve complex problems.
People like Elon Musk, Larry Page, Erik Schmidt & Tony Hsieh all attend Burning Man, as one of their preferred locations to step out & think big.
It not just business leaders at Burning Man using psychedelics to gain an advantage.
The book also describes how developments are allowing Navy Seals to take an entirely different approach to high performance, using ecstasies, as a state mind.
Detailing the 4 forces of ecstasies. Psychology. Neurobiology. Pharmacology & Technology.
Explaining mammals, such as elephants & dolphins, seek the same ecstasies’ & state of mind too.
Yes. It’s controversial. Covering some of the most contested & misunderstood terrain in history.
It’s not going to be to everyone’s taste. But I found it riveting, interesting & eye opening.
‘Stealing Fire’ gets a thumbs up & 5 stars.
