If creativity is already core to your life, then this program is perfect for you. This could mean you’re a copywriter at an ad agency, a scientist hunting a breakthrough, a coder designing software, an entrepreneur dreaming up your next start-up, a writer aching to finish that novel or a landscape painter trapped in the life of an accountant—all that matters is that generating novel ideas (and putting those ideas out in the world in some form or another) is core to your life and purpose.
Why Does “Flow for Creatives” even matter?
- You keep losing the battle to be innovative in the rush to be productive.
- You have writer’s block or coder’s block or painter’s block and the thing you used to love most in your life has become a source of pain and frustration.
- You have trouble managing your emotions and fear keeps getting in the way of your good ideas.
- You have trouble sustaining momentum on projects and tend to quit early rather than to finish what you started.
- You have no idea how to gain access to groundbreaking insights and ideas when you need them most.
- You don’t actually believe creativity is trainable.
- You’re numbing yourself with substances and placating yourself with distractions as a way to ignore the fact that you’re not living up to your creative potential.
- You get lost in the fixing to get ready phase, and never get down to business.
- You keep bashing into creative walls but never breaking thru.
- Your emotions keeping getting in the way of your desired outcomes. Fear of failure keeps you from committing to projects; perfectionism keeps you from making your work public.
Flow For Creatives can help.
It’s like an inspiration turbo-boost training program. It’s practical, experiential and experimental. You learn a new idea about Flow and Creativity, apply it to whatever problem you’re trying to solve, see what happens, then make it your own.
And, did you know…
- When in Flow, your creative problem-solving abilities can spike by over 400 percent.
- Research done at Harvard shows that the heightened creativity produced by Flow can outlast the state by a day, sometimes two—suggesting that Flow actually trains the brain to think more creatively over the long haul.
- Creatives are more prone to depression than most people, but an understanding of the process can protect against this liability.
- Creativity tops the list of 21st-century skills—meaning those skills that are essential for thriving in the modern world—yet 75 percent of people think they’re not living up to their creative potential.
- The baseline brainwave state produced by Flow is also the ready condition for “Ah-ha” insight, meaning being in the zone makes you primed for breakthrough insight.
- Fear blocks creativity, while Flow resets the nervous system, calming us down so we can avoid burnout and gain access to much-needed insight.
- Unless you know how to train the brain properly, most people tap into their deepest creative potential at age 5.
- Frustration is actually a built-in component of the creative process—it’s a sign that you’re moving in the right direction not a sign that you’re going about it all wrong.
Life is better than ever and we are feeling worse than evener. We are neurotic, stressed, unmotivated and it’s literally killing us. This class is for anyone that is serious about staying in their highest performing state.

Best course on productivity I ever had. Do you have planners or notebooks that help achieve flow state depending on your flow type ( deep thinker, high charger, flow goer, crowd pleaser)? Or an app? Something like Rocketbook but with flow for creatives workflow.

Nicely done...will recommend to patients.

Great class! As a creative I get stuck all the time and used to think I was doing something wrong. I got so many insights and tools out of this class that are going to help me be more productive and more in peace with myself in my everyday life.
-
When I got onto the session I didn't really know what to expect but this was just awesome. I was totally hooked on till 2am !!! (IST). Except for the sound going low at some points in the session, i just loved it!
-
I think it's great that in lesson 15 Turning the Challenge Skills Balance at 3 minutes 29 seconds in there appears to be two Steve Kotlers. One presenting and one in the audience at the front. I'd love to know how that was done, Maybe that's the magician in him coming out. Great course though
-
Amazing class! But can you please do something about the sound!? I'm bad of hearing and use hearing aids and I cannot get the sound loud enough for me to hear Steven properly.
-
Lot's of insights!
-
Super Amazing Course! Highly recommend it for anyone in the creative line of work.
-
Im sure we've all tried prescribed techniques to get into a good work state. And they work for some bit of time or not at all til we ditch them. This goes way beyond 'one size fits all' and even beyond 'some sizes fits some.'' This clears up a lot of the variables regarding flow state.
-
Chris was able to explain what I have been calling my zone. I now understand it a lot better, how to harness it and bring it on when and where I may need it. Awesome, extraordinary, out of the box information.
-
very good
-
This course could not have come at a better time in my life. I'm in the middle of a creative project and Steven has put into words and graphics the experience of seemingly manic states that I've been going through. Having a language for the various states, understanding said states as a cycle is not just fascinating, it's fucking enabling.
-
I would definitely recommend this course! There are a lot of helpful tips but it's hard to get all of it in one viewing. I find myself replaying this class over and over and finding something new every time!
-
The best demystification of FLOW State, with step by step process to make part of any creative's life. This course is a must for any creative.
-
Amazing class with lots of actionable insights to try out and incorporate into your own life. If you are a creative, or even feel like you have a strong creative side, you may finally realize some of the science behind behaviors you are already doing! Well researched and lots for the analytical mind to work with on a topic that can sometimes seem "fluffy"

I'm really excited about working through the course. Until now my only method for hacking the flow state has been to remember a moment when I was there, focus on the way it felt moving into that state, and bring the sensation to the here and now. This works, but sometimes Ive over used it, and wound up seriously exhausted.Steven goes into the details of how to use flow such that I'll be able to use it without endangering my health by overdoing it. Another really amazing aspect of the course is the connection with the Flow Genome Project. So useful to find that my inclination to solitude is because my primary profile is Deep Thinker. I had begun to think I was just anti-social, and that it was a character flaw. There are approaches to make this work for me.
-
Utterly mind blowing. Wow. A few hours listening to Steven Kotler felt more like a few days. He has done his research, and offers so much practical application advice that I will review this material several times. Well worth it, and highly recommended. Thank you, Creative Live!
-
Absolutely amazing content and delivery. If applied this material will totally change your career and life. The course could not possibly be more packed with value, there is zero fluff or filler, all of it is top-notch actionable, evidence-based content to help you level up! I'll be watching this one multiple times.

I've been following Steven and the Flow Genome Project for years now so it was great to hear from the expert in this informative setting. Steven was dropping so many helpful creative and entrepreneurial insights it was tough to get them all down. Highly recommend this course and his flow work! - Jared Brick, Founder of Brick House Media Co, Gryp, Zen Hustlers
-
I've watched and participated in many webinars and online classes, and this was by far one of the best. The depth and breadth of information that Steven covers in this class is not only really important, but he structures it in a way that is engaging and most importantly: PRACTICAL. I'm coming out of this with a clear list of ways to improve my ability to get into Flow while accomplishing all of my creative endeavors. I highly recommend this to anyone who would like to do the same!
-
Love Steven's work. Highly recommended!
-
I love this class so far! hands-on exercises are great so that I can follow through after the class ends.
-
This is one of those rare courses that I resonated with. Steven not only spoke about the ups and downs of being a creative, but also the science behind them. I was actually shocked that ALL the things he's taught, I've experienced and could not understand them, until now. Thank you Steven for this course and look forward to your books and videos!
-
This is amazing. Steven is hitting so many pain point for me about reframing my fear. He is also an amazing presenter. Thank you, Steven! I am excited, I am excited, I am excited!
