Description
No brain left behind — that’s the mission of today’s guest, Jim Kwik, the author of Limitless - Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, Unlock Your Exceptional Life and the founder of Kwik Learning. After experiencing a brain injury when he was only five, Jim struggled through school, dubbed “the boy with the broken brain.” So, Jim is well aware of how much untapped cognitive potential we all have, even those of us who have been told that we’re cognitively deficient in some way or were abandoned by the traditional educational system. But there are very few of us living up to our brain’s full potential. The sad truth is that most of us were not taught the best ways to learn, were not taught habits that contribute to our cognitive development, and are constantly exposed to environmental factors that further erode our ability to learn, remember, and focus. However, there is a silver lining: it’s not too late! An old dog can, in fact, learn new tricks. And, in this episode, Jim is going to share the fantastic framework for learning and improving brain function that he’s developed over years of research and experimentation. 08:45 — Jim’s new book, Limitless - Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, Unlock Your Exceptional Life Limitless is not about being perfect — it’s about progressing beyond what you currently believe is possible The three-part limitless model, a framework for unlocking human potential Ending the trance that we’ve been put in Information without application is useless 22:00 — How to stop self-limiting language and negative self-talk from interfering with your life and goals How we end up using limiting language and creating limiting beliefs The three invisible forces that keep you in your self-limiting box Jim walks Luke through some of his own limiting beliefs Mindfulness is a muscle that you can train Getting comfortable being uncomfortable Misconceptions about motivation The motivation formula The lies we were told about reading How we can break negative patterns and create positive ones 01:08:10 — How devices ruin our ability to focus (and how you can fix it) We’re never taught how to study How phones are ruining the youngest generations’ focus and memory We’re taught how to learn and what to learn, but now how to think 01:18:55 — How Limitless will give you your power back Why Jim felt the need to release his book during the pandemic, while everyone is being disrupted and finding it harder to focus How Jim practiced what he preached when writing his book After you order Limitless, make sure you get your free 10-day Kwik Start Course Limitless for kids and teens How did Jim learn how to write a book? 01:29:20 — Cocooning in self-isolation, lockdown, and/or quarantine How you can grow during this time How Jim remains positive in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic Upleveling your skills The struggle the caterpillar goes through to break out of its cocoon is what gives it the strength to fly More about this episode.
