271: Steven Kotler | The Rise of Superman Jun 06, 2014

Show notes

“You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?”—Robert Louis Stevenson
We've all heard of 'flow'. That mysterious in-the-zone state that athletes, performers and other professionals consummate in their craft seem to attain when they're really crushing it. But what is it and how do we get there deliberately, calling forth flow when we need (or want) it?
We'll cover that and more in this episode of The Art of Charm Podcast with Steven Kotler, including:
-The flow genome project (can we ENGINEER flow?)
-What is FLOW?
-What happens in your brain during flow?
-How do we trigger flow and harness it for ourselves?
-How flow saved Steven’s life and helped him recover from Lyme disease
-The flow cycle which is a roadmap for flow as well as practical things we can do and work on to make this cycle a reality for us
-More bullet points, likely all including the word 'flow' at some point ;)

263: Robin Dreeke | Spy Catcher May 19, 2014

Show notes

"I know not every mom is a secret KGB spy, but every mom has this whole other life. Every dad and every person has this whole other life." -Keri Russell
Robin Dreeke is an author, teacher of social engineering (sometimes with The Art of Charm's Jordan Harbinger) and the chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program at the FBI. Opinions and concepts expressed on this show are his own and not that of the FBI (just to be EXTRA clear on that).
Today, we'll discuss:
-Pretty much nothing about being the chief spy catcher for the FBI
...and a lot about how to build trust and rapport
-How to get paranoid/sketchy people to trust you
-How to refrain from judging others and why this is so powerful
-Attaining our goals with people in the face of our own emotional resistance
-How to build tolerance of others avoid becoming collateral damage of other people’s insecurities.
