Description

The book reveals how elite performers—ranging from Navy SEALs and Olympic athletes to Silicon Valley visionaries and world-class artists—are harnessing non-ordinary states of mind to unlock extraordinary abilities. Backed by cutting-edge neuroscience and extensive research, Kotler and Wheal delve into the science of flow states, meditation, psychedelics, and neurotechnology, showing how these tools can enhance human potential.

At its core, Stealing Fire argues that altered states of consciousness are not just mystical experiences but practical, trainable skills that can dramatically improve decision-making, problem-solving, and creativity. The authors explore how organizations like Google, DARPA, and the military’s elite forces are using these techniques to enhance cognitive performance, boost innovation, and push the limits of human capability.

The book also serves as a practical guide, offering insights on how individuals can safely and effectively tap into these states to improve their work, relationships, and overall well-being. It challenges traditional views on success and peak performance, presenting a new paradigm where altered states are not just for spiritual seekers but essential tools for modern professionals, entrepreneurs, and high achievers.
