    <p>During childhood, <strong>Jim Kwik</strong> experienced a <strong>traumatic brain injury</strong>. As a result, he lacked focus in school, wasn’t able to read properly, and at one point, a teacher told him that he had a “<strong>broken brain</strong>”. So how did a kid with a “broken brain” become the <strong>leading mental coach for athletes, CEOs, and movie stars</strong>? Simple: Jim looked into <strong><em>how </em>to learn instead </strong>of <em>what</em> to learn. Soon enough, Jim was reading faster, memorizing with higher accuracy, and doing well in school.</p><p>His friends asked him for some tips so they could improve their grades as well. With some success in his inner circle, he decided to make a flyer for <strong>speed reading and memory improvement classes</strong>. He put up the flyer at his college hoping one or two people would show up to his impromptu class. Over 100 students showed up, of which<strong> 71 signed up for a full course with Jim</strong>. After that, Jim knew it was his <strong>life mission to help those who wanted to learn, memorize, and live better</strong>.</p><p>So <strong>why is it so hard for some people to memorize things</strong>? We forget details all the time, whether it be names, addresses, phone numbers, or other important information. Jim goes through a <strong>simple method to memorizing any piece of information</strong>, called the M.O.M system. He also outlines 10 tips for a limitless brain, many of which you can implement soon after you finish this episode!</p><p>Even something as simple as reading slightly faster can allow you to <strong>save <em>weeks</em> worth of time each year</strong>.
