Listen to Heather and Arjuna discuss: 

• The mechanism behind having new ideas and bringing them to fruition, and what happens to our bodies, minds and emotions in the process
• How Copernicus realized that the paradigm was wrong, corrected a misunderstanding, and got rid of superstition, and that Albert Einstein’s big insights actually came when relaxing in the bathtub
• The over 500 interviews that Arjuna has conducted throughout the years with creative greats like Leonard Cohen and seemingly normal people who have creative talents
• How a car accident led to the quest for Arjuna wanting to find out what drives a person to brilliance 
• Moments of awakening
• Spanda – naturally vibrating aliveness
• Creative flow
• Parasympathetic flooding
• The book Stealing Fire: How Silicon Valley, the Navy SEALs, and Maverick Scientists Are Revolutionizing the Way We Live and Work by Steven Kotler and Jamie Wheal
• Why Arjuna recommended that everyone schedule a nervous breakdown every day around sundown
• People using addictive substances to push them and why it leads to burnout
• The connection between sexual energy, fertility and creativity
• How science hasn’t yet explained emotion through biology or brain chemistry
• How we can boost creativity by seeing that the body is actually a transducer that is picking up experiences and information like radio waves
• The importance of clearing pent-up emotions out of the body
