Description
“Limitless is the art and science of learning how to learn. There’s no limit to our creativity, there’s no limit to our imagination, there’s no limit to our motivation, or our ability to solve problems. The sky’s not the limit. Our mind is the limit.” On this week’s RachReflects, be prepared to have your mind blown by the inimitable Jim Kwik, who went from being called “the boy with the broken brain” to becoming “the world’s No 1 brain coach”. Author of Limitless, the New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling guide to unlocking your inner genius, and host of podcast Kwik Brain, Jim counts such top leaders in their fields as Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk and Richard Branson as his “students”. And for the three decades, he has taught his learning techniques at Harvard, Google, Nike, 20th Century Fox and the United Nations, among other renowned organisations and institutions. Wow, I know. I am still in awe that I have had this opportunity to speak with Jim, and offer you a glimpse into his brilliant brain, along with his insights, thoughts and teachings on how every one of us can access the limitless potential and power of our minds to create a more fulfilling life. In our chat, Jim also shares his powerful story and inspiring journey — one of overcoming a severe childhood brain injury and the belief that he could never be as good as other kids, and the life- changing discovery that there’s no such thing as a good or bad brain, only a trained or untrained brain, that no matter our age and circumstances, we have the power and the choice to rebuild our brains, our confidence, our lives. There is so much in this short half-hour conversation that will feel like a light switch is being flipped on for the first time. No matter who you are and where you are in your life, I am sure there’s something there you will find helpful to you on your journey.
