In this program, we watched and discussed a selected TED talk. TED talks follow a unique format. Speakers at TED events have a maximum of 18 minutes to share their messages, which are delivered in highly polished, succinct speeches. TED talks are delivered by people from all walks of life on a multitude of subjects. A great many of these talks are about the insights gained by ordinary people–insights gained through extraordinary experiences or based on their contemplation of the ordinary events of their lives. Either way, their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma, but through experience.
The title of this Ted talk is “How to Open Up to the Next Level of Human Performance”.
What does it take to be your best when it matters most? Author of 7 bestselling books, Pulitzer Prize nominee, and Director of Research at the Flow Genome Project, Steven Kotler studies ultimate human performance, what is actually possible for our species, and where – if anywhere – our limits lie. Steven Kotler is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and co-founder and director of research for the Flow Genome Project. He is one of the world’s leading experts on ultimate human performance. His work has been translated into over 40 languages and his articles have appeared in over 80 publications, including The New York Times Magazine, Atlantic Monthly, Time, Wired, and Forbes.

This group was facilitated by Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert.
