Genius Can Be Learned
After a childhood brain injury left him learning-challenged, Jim Kwik overcame it by creating strategies that dramatically enhanced his mental performance. He now teaches the message that “knowledge is power, learning is a superpower” along with strategies to kill negative thoughts and build self-esteem.
Every time I talk to Jim he has the absolute best energy. He’s such a positive guy and is always very honest about his childhood and brain injury. The fact that he was able to fix his ‘broken brain’ is so incredible and inspiring and I think we can all take something from his story.
