231. Steven Kotler — Harnessing Neuroscience for Peak Performance [Encore Edition]

The Game Changing Attorney Podcast with Michael Mogill

Studies show that we only use 10 percent of our total brain capacity. But what would you do if you could use 100 percent of your brain? How would your life change?

Steven Kotler — best-selling author, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and founder of the Flow Research Collective — has made it his life’s mission to discover everything he can about our greatest assets: our brains.

On this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Steven and Crisp Founder & CEO Michael Mogill explore:
