"liminal" -- can't remember if I first came across this word in this book; if so, early in the book. "Occupying both sides of a boundary or threshold." 

"incandescently productive" -- p. 16. A chatbot will provide a very good interpretation.

In summary, being "incandescently productive" can be viewed as bringing passion and warmth to one's work, potentially aided by a well-lit, warm environment that fosters both creativity and focus.
