“I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to live their best life”

Marie Robinson · United States
I randomly came across the Habit of Ferocity while perusing various leadership websites. I watched the initial interview with Steven Kotler and my immediate reaction was, "I need to do this course." I am the type of person who is committed to living my best life. Each day I strive to be a better version of myself while…

"I'm at the top of my game!"

Avi Pilato · Student · Kingsley, United States
Imagine this: you're watching youtube, playing Minecraft, and procrastinating to your heart's discontent on things that are irrelevant. This is not that hard to imagine. It is the norm nowadays to hear this in student life. We've come to expect it. Well, what if we expected something different from ourselves? What if…

"I approach things now with a different mindset"

Rob Hough · United States
I had just finished a cold immersion breathwork retreat in Iceland and a day later the Habit of Ferocity began so I didn't have much time for expectations. Steven was on my radar as I had a keen interest in flow states. Being ADHD I had been exploring ways to hack my neurochemistry, control my attention better and…

“Stages of transformation”

Mikhail Samsonov · United States
Stages of transformation: 1. overexcited + naive, first feelings of the HOF from day 3 to day 11. Test score = 40. 2. deep failure, continuous learning and catching up from day 12 to day 32. Test score = 49. 3. Training and learning have finally stabilized performance. Days 33 - 35. Test score = 67. Some of my…

"I manifested a new magazine and published 2 issues"

Zola De Firmian · Business owner- Business coach consultant for new paradigm change-makers · Creston, United States
The term, Ferocious intrigued! As one always wanting to "self-optimize" and become masterful, push my envelope, live with more impact and for greater service, I jumped in to this adventure. Never would I describe myself as "Ferocious." Yet, there were moments, and I wanted more of those! Steven Kottler taught us about…

“This course has given me the courage to truly realize the value of the pursuit of my purposes”

Nina Ross · United States
So I'm genuinely embarking on a new phase of peak performance. Exciting times and for me, health wise it's been a very long time coming! As you may know from viewing past posts of mine in this tribe I took part on the first round of the Habit of Ferocity and there were some pretty key things that I learnt. I finally…

"Steven speaks of how you have to get all your motivators into a proper stack to focus, and combine it with Grit and Flow"

Vanessa Hart · United States
I was not living up to my full potential... and I knew it ... "Personal development will only take you to the starting line." ~ Said Steven; which made sense since I was feeling like I had done a lot of personal development but then wasn't moving forward anymore. Over the years I've taken a bunch of courses, which were…

"I am able to bring myself in a state of full immersion, motivation and heightened mental sensitivity and stay focused on my tasks longer"

Carmen Badan · United States
I stumbled upon a video with Jason Silva and Steven Kotler a few months ago. I had been following Jason for a while but knew nothing about Steven Kotler. The subject was, of course flow. This was the first time I looked at flow differently, like an intentional state of mind meant to increase productivity and to…

I have 3 MTPs that inspire and guide everything in my life now and I now have the know how and habits to build the grit required to…

"Now I want to push to achieve 3-5 things I know I will do daily"

Myra Cornwell · Makeup Artist · Phoenixville, United States
I become interested in this program because I wanted to know how I can be a peak performer. I love listening to Steven and what he said makes sense. Before this program, I didn't understand what a high-hard goal was. Now I want to push to achieve 3-5 things I know I will do daily. Ferocity is a process but I truly…
