review 1: Strong title, enticing subtitle, mediocre/misleading execution.1. The Rise of Superman is well written. I breezed through it.2. It's misleading. There isn't much actionable advice for the average person. This book is about action & adventure athletes who risk their lives to do things we previously thought impossible. Mountain climbing, surfing, skateboarding, skiing, and skydiving get the full treatment. You and I? Not so much.Would I recommend it? Yes, but in the same way I'd recommend eating a nice curry. It's a pleasant time, but you won't get too much out of it.
review 2: Rise is simply fascinating. I loved this book and would recommend it to everyone. It delves deep into what the causes and effects of flow on human performance are. Flow can help anyone fr... moreom the office employee to the base jumper. Hacking flow and bringing flow into my life is now a major goal. Read this book with an open mind and throw out what you thought was possible for human (and your own) performance. less
