Flow—your brain's gateway drug to the infinite game.

How far could you push your performance if you knew exactly what your brain was capable of?

In this special Ask Me Anything episode, Steven Kotler and Dr. Michael Mannino answer questions from people around the world who use their work to unlock more flow. They share mind-bending insights about "getting into the zone"—insights that have helped world-class athletes and entrepreneurs break through their perceived limitations.

Through candid stories and cutting-edge research, they show exactly how anyone can tap into these optimal states of consciousness—whether you're hurling yourself down mountains or seeking deeper connections in your everyday life.

The question isn't whether you can access these states. The question is: what will you do once you know how?

Warning: Side effects include the uncontrollable drive to truly live your life.
