In the runner's high or "flow" state where we feel best, perform best & are on a roll with rapid-fire problem-solving:

  • Any brain structure that would hamper the heightened awareness & attention state, is shut off.
  • Brain waves hover between day-dreaming and the radical idea-combining state just befor falling asleep.
  • The 5 chemicals that go into upping attention, pattern recognition, lateral thinking, muscle reaction time...are all pleasure-inducing and performance enhancing brain chemicals.

Why decision-making is easier in flow state

Why decision-making is easier in flow state

According to John Hopkins neuroscientist Charles Lamb, when in peak performance or flow state...when you are "in the zone" -

  • The self-monitoring part of our brain is deactivated (as shown by fMRI).
  • It means, no more second-guessing or interference from our voice of doubt.
  • And so, risk-taking becomes less frightening and we act without hesitation.
  • All this lets us flow at a faster pace.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
