Steven Kotler, leading peak performance expert, award-winning journalist, and The New York Times best-selling author

Steven Kotler is a leading peak performance expert, award-winning journalist, The New York Times best-selling author known for influential books like Stealing Fire and The Rise of Superman, and trainer for Mindvalley’s The Habit of Ferocity Quest.

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

His personal battle with Lyme disease in his 30s led him to explore “flow,” a heightened state of being that he has popularized through his books, talks, and the Flow Research Collective.

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

Credentials

Steven is acclaimed for creating measurable improvements in his clients. His training at Google HQ improved the team’s flow markers by 35–80%.

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.
