What are the upper limits of human potential? At the intersection of flow states, mystical experiences, peak performance, and psychedelics lies a mysterious space of possibility. In Mapping Cloud Nine, bestselling author and award-winning journalist Steven Kotler takes us on a heady thrill ride through the history of human potential-and how what we've learned so far might unlock even greater levels of creativity, performance, and meaning in our lives.From Nietzsche to now-a tour of human consciousnessIn this six-part audio program, Kotler bridges science and spirituality to explore how our understanding of peak experiences has evolved over time-from early inquiries into altered and mystical states, to the birth of positive psychology and research on high performers, to pioneering studies on meditation and near-death experiences, and into current explorations of psychedelics, flow states, and technological breakthroughs. A brilliant synthesizer and gifted storyteller, Kotler paints a compelling portrait of our greatest human potential, inspiring us to leverage this growing body of research and step into new realms of possibility.
