Most of us have felt it. Hours disappear, everything else fades away, and the work seems to do itself. But what’s actually happening in those moments, and can you make them happen on purpose?
Kotler has spent decades studying flow, and he makes the case that it’s far more trainable than most people think. We talk about what brings it on, how hard a task should be before it pulls you in, and why the hobby you gave up as an adult might matter more than you realize.
We also get into what frustration is really telling you when you’re learning, how play compares with practice, how to focus on work you’d rather not be doing, and how to think clearly when there’s more information than ever and fewer people checking it.
