In “Stealing Fire,” Kotler discusses how Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and other groups are changing the way we live and work. He argues that these organizations have tapped into a source of “flow state” or optimal human performance in which individuals are completely absorbed in their activities. As a result, they are able to achieve extraordinary results.
