The final section when you are convinced that you can have the mindset and motivation to follow through the techniques, it takes you through a wealth of Methods and practical tips you can start implementing today!, When I bought this book, it came with a free 10 days “Kwik Start” program along with free podcast episodes that I feel in itself is a deep dive into personal development I could immerse into., The plus side:, -It’s very easy to read and the chapters are very well organised., – The free resources add another layer of depth to the learning experience, it’s a multi dimension book, making use of technology to take us deeper diving into some aspects by the way of the numerous free resources included in the book., -The book has Brain boosting methods for memorisation, focus, study and being in the glow. Information about nutrition and posture as well as discussion on how to develop the mindset and motivation to learn. Easy to read, well structured, full of useful tips with backing research evidence as well as reasons on how to apply them to adapt a limitless lifestyle., -it talks about self-identify which is key to any personal development, -The kindle version I’m reading is very good. I can view all the graphics of the book all at once, I can even have an audible version of the book for free based on an offer I found towards the last pages if the book, provided I have paid for the readable version of book., Prior to this book, i had done one of Jim Kwik’s super brain course, and was already looking at doing the speed reading course. Based on a few of the negative customer reviews I happened to stumble into on Amazon, I honestly did not expect that I’d learn something new in this book, but when I read it my heart lights up for so many things!, My favourite chapters were on “Flow” and “Study” in the methods section of the book. It has tremendous guidance on how to make effective notes, when and how frequently to review, and Jim convinces me with the logic and research backing of WHY I should be using these techniques to my benefit. I’m a person who likes to understand the reason behind the tools and strategies someone is telling me, so I was thoroughly satisfied., During the course of reading this book, I also did the “Speed reading course” which kept me committed for 1 month and now i have a very healthy daily reading habit. Now unlike what one podcast listener has written in her Amazon review where she found everything redundant, even after finishing the speed reading course i found reading this chapter extremely useful., I think it’s very unfair of people to first squeeze into the essence of an author by regularly listening to their podcast and then go on to accuse that the book just has what the podcast has! My reply to these kind of reviews is:, 1. This book is about “Learning”. If you paid attention to the podcast, you would gather that JimKwik is the product of his lifelong learning. Whatever he learnt, he tried to bring it to his audience for free. But everyone out there, does not have time to listen to hundreds of podcasts and then keep notes they can come back to. The book is literally a treat for us that we can keep going back to. It compliments all the other learning we have done and like Jim says, everytime you read a book, you keep learning something new depending on where you are at in your journey of personal growth and what looks most applicable. Unless you are a fact gathering robot, when you read a comprehensive book like this and reflect upon what you are learning, you are bound to learn something new every single time. For me, limitless has become a way of life and I’m thankful to Jim Kwik for writing this book and bringing to us the essence of his lifelong research and learnings, in such an organised easy to understand and apply manner., On the downside the book, as well as Jim Kwik’s courses do have a lot of Acronyms, which may get hard to digest sometimes when I’m speed reading. But using acronyms to remember things for longer is in itself a memorization technique! So I thoroughly loved the fact that this book is literally the product of what Jim Kwik teaches like “practice of what he preaches”., Only a fool would not find the hidden gems in this book, and I doubt that someone who regularly listens to Jim Kwik’s podcasts would think its redundant. Learning isn’t just about storing and comparing facts. It is much deeper, you listen, you apply, you read, you reflect, you make mistakes, you learn from the mistakes and apply the learnings to improve., – Also, never once in the boom did I find Jim, advocating to buy his course! Ofcourse, it’s already a thick book with lots of concepts covered, how could anyone possibly imagination the author could deep dive into each of these areas, building on top of all the practical and useful Info he has already given! Only a foolish person would expect that a book could replace all the individual courses that deep dive into each of these areas! Even then I would say he has covered the techniques, the courses are more on if you really wanted to be coached and taken through the daily habits and implementations to be a 100% along with others who are doing these courses. If you don’t do the courses, you can still start applying all the techniques today and start seeing the improvements. I’m teaching the study techniques to my children and nephew already!, I think everyone who wants to improve their learning and study techniques should read this book and even re-read it using speed reading techniques., Buying this book is like buying the entry to a theme park, where you get most of the rides for free, but if you wanted to upgrade your experience and have even more fun, the park won’t have limits and you could go watch or listen for free to the useful and relevant podcasts. Or if you wanted someone to hold your hand and gradually take you step by step gently while holding you accountable then you even have the choice to do the courses, you’re never at a dead end!, For me, limitless has become a lifestyle and a mindset and the best part is, I’m even able to inspire my children through this, to never under estimate the unique unlimited abilities of their brains and never use negative self talk and instead see what potential their brains and thinking ability holds., My kids are still young, but seeing they are already inspired by me being such a huge fan of Jim Kwik’s limitless ways of learning, and I have taught them how to store memory facts in their heads for quick retrieval, we use the tips sometimes in vocabulary words, I taught my husband how he can memorise a presentation key heading while going with me on an imaginary walk in the neighbourhood area! I myself am able to go at a deeper level of learning and notes taking in the technical books I read which i couldn’t process info from so easily before and am able to retain much more than before. I’m also able to skim through books faster, particularly in the areas where i don’t need my mind to linger, Jim has discussed all those techniques in the book, but I suspect I was able to practically apply it better because I had gone through the speed reading course and had experienced practically and deeply by doing the things in a timed daily routine that buying the course enabled me to do. If I hadn’t done the speed reading course, I’d need to be very self disciplined to take myself through these techniques daily to actually see the gradual improvements in my reading speed. Because like Jim says, it’s the “Doing” that makes the facts turn into learning., I would advise, buy this book and you might even find yourself gifting copies to your loved ones
