Jim Kwik On How To Become A Limitless Learner

Beyond The Hustle

"There's something called Digital Dementia, it's the high reliance on your devide remembering things for you. It should be very concerning that we've lost the ability to remember a phone number or a pin number, or something we just read. Two of the most costly words in business are "I forgot": I forgot that meeting, that conversation, that meeting. On the other side, memory will make you money. We live in an expert economy where people will pay you money for what you know. If you can learn how to focus, remember, read and retain you can apply that towards anything. The most important skill we can all focus on is learning how to learn."

Jim Kwik was once known as the “boy with the broken brain.”

A childhood head injury at age five left him struggling in school. For a while, he even believed he could never be as good as other kids when it came to learning. Jim loved superheroes as a kid – and comic books saved him when conventional education couldn’t. Comic books taught Jim how to read…and they also kept his dreams alive that one day he, too, would find his inner superpower.

Jim discovered that, no matter the circumstances, we can rebuild our brains. And after working on himself, he realized his brain was not broken…it just needed a better owner’s manual. This shattered Jim’s own limiting beliefs – and over time, it became his passion to help others do the same.

For the past three decades, Jim taught his learning techniques to students from universities such as Harvard, CalTech, and Singularity University. As well as executives and employees from companies such as Google, Virgin, Nike, Zappos, GE, 20th Century Fox, Cleveland Clinic, WordPress, and institutions like the United Nations to get the most out of work and life.
