we found like our training we have an eight-week digital training right zero to dangerous standard flow training we and we measure everything so the last thousand people who went through the training we saw a 73.82 increase in flow for the last thousand people that's pretty average we see 70 80 increase in flow for most people i'd love to tell you that's my kung fu that we're that good and we're good

That's biology. That's all of us. Once you start figuring out how this shit works, you can do that yourself. It's really amazing.

Yeah, let me, this is worth hammering on because it's so critical. So we've known since the 60s, this is Mihaly's work, but it's now baked into psychology and positive psychology. So we knew that flow underpinned happiness and well-being. We now know it underpins life satisfaction, meaning, purpose. In fact, when positive psychologists define happiness, there are three tiers.

The upper two tiers, the best you get to feel on the planet, have flow baked into the definition. That was where we were for a really long time. I worked on this recently. The point I made a minute ago, we started to figure out the opposite. It's hard to prove happiness.

low helps with depression or anxiety those are trickier because you need a specific kind of studies in this brilliant team in europe just to publish a study in nature and in one of the nature publications 10 000 twins so if you're going to study depression or anxiety or any of these conditions twin studies are the gold standard right you got

identical twins are separated at birth what happens to one what happens to the other and it's like the nature versus nurture yeah it gives you just the best sort of benchmark and they had took a 10 000 person twin sample this is where they discovered flow is protective against depression all uh anxiety bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and cardiac-related stress conditions.

So for all of us getting older, cardiac-related stress conditions as well. And then my lab proved that flow overrides PTSD. And my friend Karina Pfeiffer proved that flow overrides burnout. And so right now, the whole world seems to be suffering from burnout. And this is the only, there's no pill, there's no protocol in the world that treats it.

all those conditions there's literally there's nothing else you can get that will protect against those conditions massively increase happiness and well-being and overall would the word antidote be appropriate for that is is it the antidote to burnout or is that i think so i'm not gonna say it's the antidote to depression or anxiety those are bigger things but it may be the antidote

to burn out certainly here's the crazy thing this is worth knowing so back in the 60s the book that introduced flow to the world was a book by chick sent me high known as beyond boredom and anxiety and he ran this really weird study where so there's macro flow that's what happened to me when i go when i went surfing right this is full-blown flow state time passes strangely self disappears you start on one with the ocean all that stuff and i can talk about the science of that if anybody cares
