Summary
Best-selling author and peak performance expert Steven Kotler decodes the secrets of those elite performers - athletes, artists, scientists, CEOs, and more - who have changed our definition of the possible, teaching us how we too can stretch far beyond our capabilities, making impossible dreams much more attainable for all of us.
What does it take to accomplish the impossible? What does it take to shatter our limitations, exceed our expectations, and turn our biggest dreams into our most recent achievements? We are capable of so much more than we know - that’s the message at the core of The Art of Impossible.
Building upon cutting-edge neuroscience and more than 20 years of research, best-selling author, peak performance expert and executive director of the Flow Research Collective, Steven Kotler lays out a blueprint for extreme performance improvement. If you want to aim high, here is the playbook to make it happen!
Inspirational and aspirational, pragmatic and accessible, The Art of Impossible is a life-changing experience disguised as a how-to manual for peak performance that anyone can use to shoot for the stars...space suit not included.

Enjoyed this book
Was a little put off at first by the robotic American narrator, but it’s alright after a while. Great book, a lot about the “Flow” state, interesting, given me some direction and focus on my goals. Would recommend

Decent read
Would recommend. It got better the more it went on, and the ending 2 chapter’s are probably the best

Generally good
I felt this book to be worth a listen, however, I didn't give it 5 stars due to an inconsistency that frustrated me a little. Early on in the book the author states that dopamine is released in the brain before a goal is achieved and not after, as previously thought. However, he then goes on to say in a later chapter that by telling someone your goal it is less likely that you will achieve it as you already have the dopamine release as your brain thinks you have already achieved it (by stating it publicly).

Great content
I have the book on paper and I can highly recommend it.
I decided to buy it on audible to listen to it, but the narration is bad. the narrator reads the book as if he reads it for the first time and doesn't use a proper intonation and accents. this makes the understanding difficult.
I recommend the paper version.

Not your usual self development book
No fluff, no nonsensical truisms just solid well-researched advice, I highly recommend it. On par with "Stealing Fire" which is a classic

Masterpiece
Felt like all the self-development books I have ever read were combined into a simple, easy-to-use manual with fantastic storytelling and style of writing which I could help but to enjoy every single word. This was the first Steven Kutlers book I have listened to, but definitely not the last. If the principles laid out in this book are applied one can genuinely see himself doing the impossible! Thank you, Steven!

Great insight
A really great book full of actionable insights that I can really see working, I look forward to implementing the things covered in this book.
The book touches on neuroscience a lot which I actually found really interesting, it is fascinating how the brain has such power over mood by simply releasing chemicals (duhh, but kinda mind-blowing).

Best step by step self improvement book!
Excellent guide to mastery and finding purpose, with a cocktail of scientifically proven concepts, gathering great ideas from other great books and high performers!
Easy to absorb, with good narration, well organised, you are going to need a notebook to register some mind-blowing ideas, applicable to your own journey.

Life Changer
This book is based on a whole study of pushing the barriers in life. I listened to it slowly and I think that is the best way to tackle this book. If you want to live up to your potential and do the impossible, I will wholeheartedly recommend this book and anything by Steven Kotler. Steven puts his heart and soul into his craft, his writing. A seasoned and thorough writer, one of my all time favourite writer.
