I am thrilled to have Jim Kwik joining me on the podcast today. Jim is an advocate for brain health. He is recognized widely as a global expert in memory improvement, brain optimization, and accelerated learning. He is also a New York Times bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the host of the acclaimed Kwik Brain Podcast. In our conversation, we dive into digital dementia, exploring how our heavy dependence on technology affects our memories, learning styles, visualization, teaching methods, and lifestyle choices. We touch on the role of the reticular activating system (RAS) in learning, looking at how to foster a curious mindset. We also cover information overload, the benefits of the Pomodoro Technique for brain breaks, common middle-age concerns, and the role of nootropics. Jim has kindly offered to give a few books away to our listeners. To participate, take a screenshot of the podcast featuring Jim and me and identify something you learned on social media, explaining how you will apply it to boost your brain health. Jim and his team will select a handful of listeners to receive an autographed copy of his book, Limitless- one of my favorites.
