Categories - Books. Date-Posted - 2022-06-07T12:51:42 . \n The consensus has been that extreme performance requires the vaunted 10,000 hours of deliberate practice which require tremendous grit and determination. Authors Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal take us on a globe spanning adventure meeting with tech founders, Seal Team Six, Red Bull athletes and many more in search of a short cut for peak performance.\n The various groups they speak with use different approaches and techniques, but all come to the realization that such a shortcut exists: altered states of consciousness. These states are within our reach and the book covers many paths for entering them: transcendental meditation, flow dojo, psychedelics, Tantric sex, extreme sports, and others. They are all different modalities for achieving the same state.\n This book is a must read for anyone interested in neuroscience, self-improvement, or altered states of consciousness. My one nitpick would be that this book is written from a very masculine perspective in Tantric terms: it\u2019s all about achieving a state of ecstasy for the purpose of performance. As I detail in Why? flow states and altered states of consciousness are worth pursuing for their own sake.\n ","Category":["Books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18778","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18778"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18778\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18782,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18778\/revisions\/18782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18778"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18778"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/grinda.org\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18778"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
