“In From Fear to Flow, Tom Roberts draws on his experience as a race car driver, coach, and Buddhist meditator to clearly demonstrate the parallels between Flow and meditation. Tom presents convincing arguments about how dropping the ego allows us to find Flow and shares practical strategies on how to let go of the ego’s often pervasive grip on our lives. Packed with interesting examples of people across different domains, From Fear to Flow provides the reader with a practical guide to understanding Flow states and facilitating finding Flow in one’s life.”

“A revelation! Roberts has uncovered both the missing link to accessing flow and the main barrier to staying in it. In From Fear to Flow, Roberts illuminates why many of us struggle to get into a flow state, and how to clear the way to access it in high-stakes moments—and in everyday life.”

—AJ Harper, author of Write a Must-Read

“Tom does a masterful job of bringing to life the phenomenon of a “flow state” using imagery rooted in science, art, and even religion. It’s something many of us may have experienced at one point or another, yet only momentarily, it seems. He not only defines it in terms that make it relatable but provides guidelines on how to capture it more often in our day-to-day lives.”

—Bill Hayner, PT, DMT, OCS, FAAOMPT

“Tom demystifies the concept of Flow and shows how it can be part of your everyday life. And not just as a peak performance technique, but also as how to think and live with greater clarity of purpose. Tom illustrates how letting go of ego allows you to respond more fluidly to challenges, decisions, and most importantly to the moments that matter. Through vivid examples and practical insight, he translates complex psychological human understanding into something anyone can apply—whether in work, sports, or daily life. It’s a clear, grounded guide to understanding yourself and engaging fully with what you do.”

“Through From Fear to Flow, Tom Roberts introduces concepts at a level that allows readers to dig deeper. He gives guidance that allows us our own aha moments. This is a guide for life and should be mandatory reading for every open-minded human waiting to understand their purpose.”
