I wonder if some of their techniques could be used for a hacker boot camp. Voluntarily subject yourself to psychological abuse in order to get rid of distractions and achieve "the zone" or high productive states. Great for those experiencing longer than usual spells of burn-out. Mind hacking you back into shape.

I don't think that abuse would be an effective way to get someone into the zone. In fact, I think it would be a good way to keep people out of the zone.
