Steven Kotler has been studying the science of performance for his entire career and he has learned what makes the impossible possible. His point: those who tackle the impossible are not just innovating in matter, but also in mind. This is all the stuff that’s never been done and—we believe—never will be done. Based on recent research in high performance, Kotler unlocks what it takes to perform with extreme innovation by looking at the rule books of paradigm-shifting accomplishments of top performers and what we can learn from them. The Art of Impossible is a practical playbook for extreme innovation. History teaches us that the impossible is a moving target. Every generation has a few brilliant archers whose arrows fly true. Often, it’s upon their achievements that the future is built. This is a book about how they do it, and maybe, how you can too.
