At the intersection of flow states, mystical experiences, peak performance, and psychedelics lies a mysterious space of possibility. What are the upper limits of human potential? In Mapping Cloud Nine, bestselling author and award-winning journalist Steven Kotler takes listeners on a heady thrill ride through the history of human potential-from early inquiries into altered and mystical states; to the birth of positive psychology and research on peak performance; to pioneering studies on meditation and near death experiences; and into current explorations of psychedelics, flow states, and technological breakthroughs. In this fascinating audio program, Kotler shares what the science says about human possibility-and what must remain a mystery, outside the purview of any research. A brilliant synthesizer, Kotler paints a compelling portrait of our deepest human potential, helping us understand how to leverage this growing body of research and step into a new field of possibility.
