HOW TO BE A CREATIVE GENIUS | The Rise of Superman Animation Notes

Whenever we think of people who can do the impossible, the common answer might be Superman, the golden boy superhero in Western culture.

Although he has done a few things that required him to push beyond his limits, I think it’ll be easier if we focused on someone most people could relate to, Batman.

When you take a look at Batman, he’s simply a normal man who’s done nothing but push himself beyond his limits.

However, although what he does can look easy, most people would die the first night they tried to live Batman’s life. Like Batman’s life, there’s people like musicians who can play an instrument without even thinking about what note they should play next.

There’s writers who can write a story without thinking too much about it. If you really think about what these people are doing, you’ll see that they’re all in a pure state of concentration known as flow.

This is when you’re solely concentrated on what you’re doing.

When a musician is in flow, they’re only thinking about sharing their talent with the audience.

When the Dark Knight goes into flow when he fight criminals, his body moves on its own without his mind constantly questioning what he should do next.

This book isn’t referring to the fact that you become a mindless robot when you hit a flow state. Rather, it teaches you how to enter the best automatic state when you’re working on something.

Whether you’re a musician, someone who builds anything, someone who enjoys sports, or the Dark Knight himself, everyone taps into their creativity best when they’re in a flowed state.

In a way, you can say there’s a Batman in our heads. In the Rise of Superman, the author mentions that becoming the superhero of your life that can let you do things you considered impossible.

And it starts with learning how to tap into your flow.
