Mind without Mind: Using Zen And The Science of Flow to Get Out of Your Own Way, And Perform at Your Best
How do you get out of your own way and perform at your very best?
Mind without Mind is about unlocking your greatest asset - your mind.
The search begins with an understanding of how to train it. Only when our minds connect with our physical bodies do we begin to perform at our best. Those who experience this intersection experience something known as flow state - an optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best.
What we are seeking is not necessarily peace of mind, but rather peace from our minds. Flow allows us to end the ceaseless inner chatter which creates a greater potential for happiness and peak performance. Though it is difficult, experiencing flow more often is both possible, and trainable. This book goes beyond typical psychological skills training and dives into unchartered territory. While avoiding academic jargon, the author is not afraid to merge philosophy and science to provide you with the tools to quiet the mind, and experience flow more often in life and performance, whatever your craft.

Marek Komar's Mind Without Mind was a tranquil read. Komar uses personal, relatable storytelling to illustrate flow state concepts while also synthesizing research and ideologies from academics and professionals into digestible information. As someone who struggles with mindfulness, I found this book offered valuable tools for self-reflection. While the book frequently touches on sports psychology, its insights are accessible to readers regardless of athletic background. I particularly enjoyed the sections on the 100-day plan and values. I’ll continue to reference this book to enhance my mindfulness - it has already proved to be a helpful resource for incorporating flow state into my projects!
