Recenzje

"Thoroughly grounded in science, writing of the biological systems that drive fear, anger, grief, lust, and other emotions, all of which can be turned to advantage. . . . [Kotler] offers . . . an entertaining, inspiring approach to life-hacking that begs to be implemented by the willing reader." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"The Art of Impossible is consistently fascinating. There aren't many writers I would follow on an intellectual journey as ambitious as this to examine peak performance; fortunately, Steven Kotler is one of them." - David Epstein, New York Times bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene

"This book is a tour de force of high performance. It's an essential resource for those looking to align their curiosity, passion, and purpose to have not just a little more flow and creativity in their lives but to have a lot more flow and creativity. Want to learn how to take your innovation to seemingly impossible heights? Steven Kotler will teach you how." - Scott Barry Kaufman, author of Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization

"This book is quite literally impossible. I've been tracking Steven's work for ten years now, and it's impossible to overstate how important it is. It's impossible that he cracked the code on breakthrough success, yet he has. It's impossible to have turned extreme innovation from an art to a science, yet he has. It's impossible that he put it all together in a book that's impossible to put down, yet he has. Read it and go accomplish the impossible yourself." - Salim Ismail, chairman of ExO Works, author of Exponential Organizations

"The Art of Impossible is a must-read! Steven Kotler is one of a handful of people on the planet with a deep understanding of the frontiers of human performance. His ability to bring applied neuroscience and psychology to life through storytelling is world-class. This book is a treasure." - Dr. Michael Gervais, high-performance psychologist

"In The Art of Impossible, Steven Kotler has managed to articulate what many peak performers intuitively know but can't explain: that there's a formula for impossible. Kotler demystifies the mythic, breaking down that formula and giving readers exactly the tools they need to accomplish their dreams, no matter how big." - Laird Hamilton, waterman, big-wave surfer
