During childhood, Jim Kwik experienced a traumatic brain injury. As a result, he lacked focus in school, wasn’t able to read properly, and at one point, a teacher told him that he had a “broken brain”. So how did a kid with a “broken brain” become the leading mental coach for athletes, CEOs, and movie stars? Simple: Jim looked into how to learn instead of what to learn. Soon enough, Jim was reading faster, memorizing with higher accuracy, and doing well in school.His friends asked him for some tips so they could improve their grades as well. With some success in his inner circle, he decided to make a flyer for speed reading and memory improvement classes. He put up the flyer at his college hoping one or two people would show up to his impromptu class. Over 100 students showed up, of which 71 signed up for a full course with Jim. After that, Jim knew it was his life mission to help those who wanted to learn, memorize, and live better.So why is it so hard for some people to memorize things? We forget details all the time, whether it be names, addresses, phone numbers, or other important information. Jim goes through a simple method to memorizing any piece of information, called the M.O.M system. He also outlines 10 tips for a limitless brain, many of which you can implement soon after you finish this episode!Even something as simple as reading slightly faster can allow you to save weeks worth of time each year. So if you’ve been beating yourself up over forgetting that one seller’s name, check out Jim Kwik’s podcast and his new book Limitless. As Jim puts it, increasing your memory and reading power not only adds years to your life, but life to your years!In This Episode We Cover:How Jim recovered from a traumatic brain injury as a childWhy school teaches us what to learn, but not how to learnIncreasing your reading speed so you can finish tasks fasterHow to remember important things like names, addresses, and phone numbersThe 3 keys to a better memoryThe 10 tips for a limitless brain (including diet, exercise, and learning)How to learn anything faster (no matter what it is!)And SO Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets book storeJim Kwik’s podcastLimitless by Jim KwikClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show443

Inspiring! Just thought I’d suggest to the guest that if she adds two words to ENCAP, one that starts with an A and one with an H, it would anagram to PANACHE.
This episode is incredibly helpful. Thank you for being so open and transparent.
Damnit Brandon. The lady and I have been trying for a baby for a year now and it hasn't happened just yet, but your song literally made me leave work to go to my car because I started balling like a little baby. it's truly a beautiful song and it hit me right in the feelers.
