How good would it be to be able to remember 10x more than you usually do, read at 10x the speed you can right now, and learn things in the most optimised way possible?
Jim Kwik is a world-renowned expert on memory improvement, speed reading, performance learning, and brain optimisation with over 25 years of experience in teaching. He's taught Will Smith, Tony Robbins, the X-Men cast, and even Elon Musk.
We dive deep into how he got onto the path he is on now in this episode of Unstoppable. And trust me, Jim's perspective and practices in life might just transform the way you think, learn and live. Buckle up, this is a big one!
