The Rise of Superman
Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance
ISBN: 9781477800836
Pages: 256
Recommendation
This thrill-a-minute book offers tales of impossible feats, otherworldly achievements, white-knuckle drama and agonizing tragedy. Writing in adventure-novel style, journalist and entrepreneur Steven Kotler opens a window into the world of extreme sports, where athletes surf 100-foot waves, free-fall from the stratosphere and fly through narrow canyons in flimsy wing suits. Kotler’s scientifically based examination of extreme athletic performance offers insight into achieving better performance at work. Though Kotler doesn’t always draw completely convincing parallels between extreme athletics and improved work performance, getAbstract recommends his chronicle to adventure lovers, the ambitious and anyone interested in cognitive science.
