Summary

My guest today is brain and memory coach Jim Kwik. As someone who suffered a head injury early in his life and had a difficult time reading, learning and remembering, Jim is on a mission to "leave no brain behind." Known as "the boy with the broken brain" Jim had to develop a system in college that changed the trajectory of his life.

He has spent almost 30 decades helping top CEOs and actors develop practices and actions to learn and remember more. His first book that encompasses all of his findings is out now called LIMITLESS. So many incredible tips and tricks for our day to day learning or for students navigating tests and note taking. I would also encourage you to go to Jim's site for tons of free talks on how to read faster and remember more. Enjoy.
