This is the second half of my conversation (part one here) with Rian Doris & Conor Murphy of the Flow Research Collective. We discuss Flow, which is defined as an optimal state of consciousness and is considered to be the optimal experience of life.
This episode helps you tactically to increase your time in flow, so you can get the most out of every aspect of your life. Flow dramatically increases every measure of performance you can imagine, as well as your subjective quality of life experience.
You may want to listen to part one of the conversation first, but this second half can stand alone.
