Habit of Ferocity is arguably one of the most specialised and actionable pieces of peak performance content in the world. It helped me look back at my growth trajectory over past years and see high growth patterns and be able to codify them and make a peak performance system out of them so I can reuse it in my current stage of growth. For context, from 2015 to 2019 I went on a rewarding journey that led me to become my curiosities, as my curiosities turned into my passion and eventually purpose, and it was very fulfilling. I’d built a platform that had allowed me to self actualise sustainably and consistently, with ever growing feedback/validation, and a fantastic skills/challenge ratio that made me better, too. I was in the zone for over 3 years.
That was a period in which I co-founded Malaysia’s top tech education student club and scaled it from few students to hundreds and phased myself out successfully, worked full time at a deep tech AI startup, gave a TEDx talk about future of education, spoke at the International Association of Universities, co-authored an Oxford University Press book, built several high performing teams of students who created lasting large scale events and experiences and coached even more students and all of these while being a full time computer science undergrad. That flow, to take curiosity to passion to purpose was something I had done without being aware of it.
Taking Habit of Ferocity made that flow visible so I can be intentional about it. That means soooo much to me because I always wondered how I can sustain and scale my growth beyond graduation, and Steven Kotler's framework for peak performance allowed me to take a step and envision repeating that process now given the new variables and realities in my life. As a consequence of that, my relationship with my job and my growth expectations from it have become much clearer to me, I've teamed up with a friend and ex colleague to start a podcast soon, and I've resumed coaching university students, but this time leveraging my tech product management knowledge to reach and impact a radically larger number of students that I ever did before. I recommend this Quest to anyone who is serious about sustainable and scalable peak performance in this world. This is one specialised curriculum that'll just work.
