About this ebook
Get the Summary of Steven Kotler's The Rise of Superman in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: In this groundbreaking book, New York Times–bestselling author Steven Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance. Drawing on over a decade of research and first-hand reporting with dozens of top action and adventure sports athletes like big wave legend Laird Hamilton, big mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of “flow,” an optimal state of consciousness in which we perform and feel our best.
Building a bridge between the extreme and the mainstream, The Rise of Superman explains how these athletes are using flow to do the impossible and how we can use this information to radically accelerate performance in our own lives.

Insights from Chapter 2
#1
Steve Winter, the director of a ski film company, met Shane McConkey while filming at the Crested Butte Extreme Sledding event in 1993. McConkey blazed off the cliff while wearing nothing but his ski boots. He did not throw a backflip, but a spread-eagle.
#2
The world of action and adventure sports is full of examples of athletes redefining the human body’s limits.
#3
The growing popularity of extreme sports has led to a decrease in the danger involved, with many of today’s records being broken and broken again.
#4
