Kwik Brain with Jim Kwik

“To err is human.” How do you deal with mistakes? This is such an important question that you’ll want to take notes on this, and I recommend you listening to it more than once. We all make mistakes. It’s easy to forget that when we’re in the midst of a mess-up. But it’s impossible to avoid miscalculations, mishaps, both big and small. And have you found that the busier you are, the more mistakes y...

Do you have a busy mind? We often get questions about how to calm and quiet one’s mind in our Kwik Brain Podcast FB Group. We no longer live in the age where we measure success by profit or prestige, but rather by a peace of mind. Do you agree? Your brain is not designed to work at full steam all the time. So regularly simmering down with these tips and hacks is a brilliant move for your wellbeing...

In previous episodes, we’ve talked about brain superfoods and what we should be eating to power a healthier, happier brain. Today’s show takes the conversation a step further as we talk about when we should be eating, and how fasting can impact our longevity and brain health.    A common question from the Kwik Brain community has been how we can improve our brain functionality through nutrition an...

“How do you work smart, not just hard?” There are times in life where you might find yourself overwhelmed. You might have a long to-do list, insane demand, and not enough time. All these action items may appear to be high priority tasks, and you’re carrying the weight of it all. But it can sometimes feel a little bit unbearable. You may feel like you’re being held back or tired of the pressure, so...

What is the secret to asking great questions? If you’re a long time or a new listener to my training, you know that I always tell people that the questions are the answer. If you want a greater understanding and comprehension when you read, then ask better questions. In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to ask better questions that will give you better answers. And I can’t think of a...

What the heck should I eat for my brain? If you’ve listened to the past podcast episodes, you know the most popular one was “The 10 Keys to Unlocking Your Kwik Brain.” While 1/3 of our brain is pre-determined by genetics and biology, the 2/3 of it is entirely in your control. And the first thing on that list is the food that you eat. But with so many choices (or lack thereof) these days, what shou...

When you’re reading something, do you ever lose focus? Do you ever get tired and fatigued? Do you ever get frustrated? When people are reading, one of the biggest complaints I hear is that they get tired while reading.

In today’s episode, we are going to answer one of the most asked questions in our Kwik Podcast FB community: “I’m going through a lot of difficult times right now, things are a little bit crazy. How do I stay focused and resilient during these tough times?” When you think about resilience, you think about the capacity to cope with stress and adversity. But it’s not necessarily a trait people are b...

The more you learn, the more dots you can connect. How do you become an exponential thinker? What does it mean to be an exponential thinker or a really BIG thinker? We talk a lot about how our life is a reflection of our thinking. This is the millennium of the mind. We get paid to think. It’s not our brute strength, but brain strength. I’m very honored to bring my friend, Naveen Jain, on this epis...

How do you go from burnout to balance? Most of us have days where we feel depleted, helpless, overloaded, where you don’t want to get out of bed, and much less pursue your dreams. But what if you’re feeling like this on most days? Then you might be suffering from a burnout. Our bodies and brains are equipped to handle stress in short bursts, but not over long extended periods of time. The impact o...

“Do EMFs harm your brain?” I get a lot of questions about learning, brain health, and etc. in our private fb group, and I came a crossed this question we haven’t addressed yet. I know it’s hard to imagine living in a world without your smartphones and computers, but what does living in a sea of electronics do to our brains? I was recently at an anti-aging conference where I shared the stage with D...

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? The fountain of youth is found between your ears. In this episode, I would like to talk about brain tips based on Dr. Daniel Amen’s book, “Use Your Brain to Change Your Age.” We all want a brain that’s healthy and agile.
