Steven is also a renowned speaker and trainer, serving clients like Google, Cisco, Deloitte, professional athletes, and the US Special Forces.

His work, which primarily focuses on performance and neurobiology, has significantly influenced discussions on human potential.

His work has been translated into over 40 languages and appeared in over 100 publications.

His 2015 book, Tomorrowland, was described by President Bill Clinton as a “visionary roadmap for change” and spent months on The New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller lists.
