Stealing Fire is a sequel of sorts to The Rise Of Superman and serves to expand on some of Kotler's previous ideas on how to achieve flow and improve performance. It may also have one of the wordiest subtitles ever.Like the previous book, figuring out what to actually do is a little like catching smoke - only perhaps more so as some of the activities described are life threatening, illegal, expensive or all three!
A few examples of the options described:
- Get your psyche torn apart and built up again with the Navy Seals
- Experiment with largely illegal psychedelics
- Do bio-hacking
- Go to Burning Man
- Take part in extreme adventure sports
Interestingly, I did add to my collection one new flow trigger to experiment with - shifts in gravity. This may go some way to explaining my recent passion for the aerial arts.
Verdict: There were some interesting ideas here, but it did feel like a thinly argued advertorial...
