Yarak: The Performance State
In falconry, yarak is the state that falcons must be in for their best hunting. When falcons are not in yarak, they are poor hunters.
Yarak can be represented on a spectrum. Starvation is on one end of the spectrum, where the animal is deficient in energy. Contentment is on the other end, where the animal has no motivation to find food. Yarak is the confluence of particular conditions that motivate optimal performance.
Yarak is great for falconers. But it’s also immensely useful for individuals and leaders because the principles behind yarak apply to people as well.
