The Secret to Using Your Whole Brain with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

You probably heard me say, "when you know how your brain works, then you can work your brain." You have an incredible gift between your ears, but it doesn't come with an owner's manual. Knowing how to use your whole brain isn't something you're taught or necessarily know how to do in school or anywhere.  That's why I'm very excited to have Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor on the show today. If her name sounds familiar, it's likely because you watched her TEDtalk or read her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, which we've included on our recommended book list for many years now.  Today we're going to discuss her newest book, Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Lives. This book is a myth-buster in so many ways.  Listen in as Dr. Jill discusses the myths of the brain and goes into the mechanics of getting your brain to work for you. If you've ever wondered what the secret for making good choices in your life is so that you can live the life you deserve and desire, this episode is for you. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

How to Create a Positive Peer Group with Jon Levy

How do you create your own positive peer group? There are many aspects that go into optimizing your brain health. A good brain diet, sleep, reducing and managing stress. But there’s one element that isn’t always given as much time and focus, and that’s how to create a positive peer group.  You’ve likely heard the following phrases regarding personal development.

That’s because optimizing your brain health isn’t always about your neurological networks but your social networks as well.  Today, we’re thrilled to talk to Jon Levy. He’s a behavioral scientist and award-winning author of his newest book; You’re Invited: The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence.  Listen in, as Jon takes you through how to expand your social circle by creating meaningful relationships built on trust. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

The 3 Keys for Unleashing Momentum with Jim Kwik

How do you build up momentum?  Today, I want to talk about creating momentum in your learning and your life.  To become an unstoppable force where you don’t bounce back, you jump forward and create velocity. Because that’s what momentum is.  If you look up the word in physics, momentum equals mass times velocity. You are mass, and I want you to become the mass in motion. Because when you don’t have momentum, you’re stuck or held back.  An object in motion tends to stay in action, but an object at rest tends to remain at rest.  I’d like you to think about what area in your life would like to have more positive momentum towards your hopes and dreams.  Where would you like to be an unstoppable force, and how would you apply that momentum?  Listen in as I share the three keys for unleashing positive momentum.  *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
