Jim Kwik, Bestselling Author and #1 Brain Coach shares an effective guide in helping us transcend limits and unlock our brain’s full potential. At a young age, Jim adopted the identity of having a 'broken brain' after a traumatic brain injury damped his ability to learn. In this episode he shares the mindset and tools that helped him to overcome this label and become a master of his mind.
He and André discuss simple hacks to harnessing your attention and improving your memory, revealing the information essential to learning faster and expanding your mental capabilities.
They also discuss the mindset essential to having a fulfilling life: Jim explains that the reason most people are burned out is not because they are doing too much, but because they're not doing enough of what they love. He shares how he personally created a life of alignment, joy, and fulfillment from the inside out.
