Kwik Brain with Jim Kwik

How do you use light to enhance your memory? As the world becomes increasingly digital, you’re likely spending more time indoors with artificial light. Blue light from screens can interrupt your sleep, focus, and concentration. But can some types of light actually make you stronger or smarter? To go in-depth on this topic, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Shelley James on our show today. She’s an international expert on light and well-being, as well as a trained glass artist and electrician. Her TEDx talk, How Can Space Station Lighting Help Us Here on Earth?, was one of the top three most-watched talks the month it was released. In the same way that sunlight directly affects your biochemistry, artificial light can influence how your body and your brain perform. By understanding how to use light effectively, you can harness some incredibly powerful health benefits. Listen in, as Dr. James talks about how she used light to heal from a traumatic brain injury and how you can use it for greater wellness and mental acuity. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

What is the key to lasting motivation? Motivation is a topic that comes up a lot in our community. You want to eat right, read more, exercise daily, and meditate regularly. But talking about making a change is often easier than achieving long-term follow-through. I’m excited to have Dr. Michelle Segar on our show today to talk more about this topic. She’s an award-winning motivation scientist and researcher at the University of Michigan. She’s the author of No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness and she’s here to talk about her new book, Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise. There’s a difference between reaching a goal and sustaining that behavior over time, and many of the paradigms and beliefs you might hold around habits are likely outdated or oversimplified. Listen in, as Dr. Segar dispels the many myths around habits and talks about her model for creating lasting change and sustained motivation. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Questions are the answer. If you’ve been in our community for a while, you’ve probably heard me say that. Once you start asking more questions, you start finding more answers. And even listening to what others are asking can prompt you down your own path of self-discovery. In today’s episode, I’m going to do a rapid-fire Q&A. Every month, our team goes through questions from our Kwik Brain community and we’ve compiled a list of topics all of you have asked about the most. Knowledge alone isn’t power—it’s the potential for power. First, you need to take action. And often, the key to unlocking action is by asking questions. Listen in, as Jim speed reads through your burning questions and answers as many as possible. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

How do you memorize jokes? Tell me if this sounds familiar. You hear a fantastic joke, but when the time comes to repeat it, your mind goes blank. This doesn’t seem to happen with song lyrics or movie quotes, so why do jokes feel like they disappear moments after you hear them? I work with stand-up comedians to help them memorize their sets by teaching them the methods we teach in our online memory course, and today, I’m going to give you four Kwik Tips to help you remember jokes. When it comes to telling a good joke, it’s frustrating to miss the punchline or forget a detail that makes the whole thing falls flat. Listen in, as I go over the 4 C’s to ensure you recall every laugh-out-loud joke with ease. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
