When was the last time you \u2018learned to read\u2019? For most of us, it was in the early years of primary school, and you probably haven\u2019t given much thought to that skill set since. But what if you could read smarter, faster and accelerate your capacity for learning \u2013 at any age? This week\u2019s guest is here to show you how.\n\nJim Kwik grew up thinking of himself as the \u2018boy with the broken brain\u2019. A traumatic brain injury at the age of five meant Jim struggled at school, taking three years to learn to read. He was teased and bullied; his potential overlooked by teachers. Today, he\u2019s a globally renowned brain coach who\u2019s helped everyone from university students to CEOs and celebrities to improve their productivity, cognition and focus. He does so through his talks, coaching courses, podcasts, and online content \u2013 as well as his bestselling book, Limitless. \n\nIn this conversation, he\u2019s keen to impart his many tips, tactics, and techniques to us. We discuss why so many of us feel like we\u2019re lacking in focus, are too old to learn, or worry that our memories are already failing. We talk about technology as a tool not a distraction, and how to structure your day with intention. And Jim explains how the 3Ms of Mindset, Motivation and Method can keep you stuck in limiting beliefs \u2013 as well as liberate you from them.\n\nWe then move on to Jim\u2019s accelerated learning and reading techniques, and he has some fascinating and super-useful advice on how to \u2018flex your focus muscle\u2019 and become a purposeful, prolific reader who remembers and uses what they\u2019ve read. He also shares some amazing hacks for reading 25 to 50% faster and taking in more, not less, as you do it \u2013 it\u2019s not about skim reading or skipping words.\n\nI can\u2019t emphasise enough what an ideas-packed episode this is, and I know you\u2019ll want to take action from the moment you finish listening. I hope you enjoy this motivating and inspiring conversation.\xa0\xa0\n\nSupport the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes. Try FREE for 7 days on Apple Podcasts\xa0https://apple.co/feelbetterlivemore.
