Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life

This book has 3 distinct partitions taking us through how to develop our Mindset and Motivation for not just learning but about any habits. 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 experienceit'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 :)

I really like Jim Kwik and his reading program has changed my life and how I think about the world.And while I found this book had some excellent ideas and I would certainly recommend it to anyone…The one drawback I found was that I didn’t get enough content/examples/depth/explanation on each topic. Instead, I have a stuffed Amazon cart of other books to read (which perhaps may have been Jim’s point because he is an avid reader) which address a lot of these topics in greater detail, based largely on references from this book.Worth the read but expect more questions (or rabbit holes) than answers.

My favorite book of the year! Packed full of learning principles for All Ages. Increase your memory, able to recall pertinent information, read better with greater comprehension. Loved his Podcasts as well where he demonstrated what he wrote. A must read for today's fast paced, over stimulating world of constant media.

I can't get enough of Jim Kwik. Got great admiration for him. Listen to him daily and reading this book. I'm 77 and need to stay sharp. Never too late to learn anything. I'm an artist, passionate about art. Always brainstorming about the next great piece to paint. Always creating in my head. Can't wait to get busy again. Thanks to Jim, I'm motivated once again and confident.

I don’t normally write reviews, but Jim Kwik’s personality and growth inspire me. Limitless amplifies a personal epiphany I had a few years ago that allowed me to grow beyond a limit I adopted based on my childhood and based on a violent attack on me over 30 years ago. We all have experiences that hold back our potential as we grow and many limits are based on fear of failure. If learning to learn better wasn’t enough personal motivation, realizing that I didn’t have to be limited by my past was. I believe I am applying Jim’s method’s to an area beyond this book, but victims of violence or tragedy have powerful limits on themselves. Breaking those limits is the difference between being a victim and being a survivor. Thank you Jim for saying things so much better than I could.The podcasts and videos do cover most of the book, but you can’t highlight and write notes on those forums and books let you digest rather than quickly hitting highlights of material and consider yourself cured and an overnight expert. The negative reviews are not by those really caring about the message of increasing your potential. This is an opinion of course but I the content is wonderful resource to revisit when the negative voice in our heads try to drag us backwards.

This book is everything and more. I truly feel limitless after reading this book. The tools and techniques are easy to apply. I'm so grateful to have found this book.

Being a dedicated life long learner is difficult, the strategies covered in this book makes it an easier, more enjoyable task.

I absolutely love this book. It is full of ways to unlock your brain's potential; brain research backs the ideas presented in this book. As a teacher, I see the benefits of students reading this book to learn more efficiently. In fact, I plan on using this book as one of our in-class readings.

Nothing new if you have read something else before on the matter. A big collection of references to other papers and authors plus some exercises that once again, you already know of them if this is not your first practical book, like the pomodoro technique for focusing. Other stories like the baby elephant chained to a pole that lost his will as he grew up and stopped fighting... I read it like three other times elsewhere.When you read the reviews, many are in this same line but still give it 4 to 5 stars rating, which could be misleading for the casual buyer.Also, it's highly noticeable that Jim is trying too hard to adapt the book to the current times squeezing female characters everywhere and every time he has a chance. Nothing wrong with that as long as those names add some value, but I see it as a poor (pity) attempt to be politically correct. I would have loved if he elaborated on Oprah's, Halle Berry's, Marie Curie's, Amelia Earhart's, Coco Chanel's or Isabella of Castile's lives among others but nothing, he just mentioned names and stories to check the boxes.

Jim has an amazing ability to help you unlock your abilities and inspire you to better use your brain. Whenever I watch any Jim Kwik video, I am always mesmerised with how he inspires everyone and provides really actionable tactics to help anyone improve their memory, reading, thinking, focus and learning activities. This is why I was super excited to get the book.The book is a very easy read and helps the reader understand the limitless model which encompasses Mindset, Motivation and Methods. Jim starts with explaining why this is important especially today when we are affected by Digital Dementia and Digital Deduction where the dependency on technology is actually stopping us from using our brains effectively, have better recall and read and learn better.I think this is a very important part of the book as it sets the scene outlining what the issues are and then very clearly makes a statement that this can all be fixed. We can turn on the power and tap into the neuroplasticity of our brain. It obviously needs a system and training and this is what the remainder of the book lays out.Part 2 of the book covers the WHAT aspect, the MINDSET and discusses possibility. It covers some really useful concepts on belief systems and the 7 lies of learning.Part 3 covers the WHY, the MOTIVATION and focusses on purpose, energy, flow and small simple steps.Part 4 covers the HOW, the METHODS and discusses Focus, Study, Memory, Speed Reading and Thinking. This is comprehensive gives practical exercisesWhat I love about the book:- It is packed with wisdom to help you to reflect and take action- It is packed with actionable tools, each chapter has sections called Kwik Start which prompt you to do something, write something or outline a technique. (I have included a photo showing an example of this)- It comes with a 10 Day video course called Kwik Start which can be used along with the book. It has great content and Jim inspires as he teaches this- It makes you BELIEVE that you can learn better and it helps you see this by giving you the tools and helping you develop the mindset- Every page is packed with useful information. This is not about Jim showing us how good he is. No waffle, no trying to repeat unnecessary things. The book delivers high-quality content on every page. There are dedicated pages for quotes but these add value to a book designed to be functional, a great reference guide and support to implement action.- It provides a framework to help train your brain. You won't improve just by reading the book, you will have to do the exercise and have a training regimen. Jim helps you to implement this.If you want to tap into your limitless potential and discover your Superpowers. If you want to be a better learner to improve all areas of your life then this is a great book to read. I highly recommend this book for anyone of any age. Use it not only for yourself but everyone else in your life. It will be life-changing but only if you read and implement it.

1 star is for the duplicity concern I have.DO GET IT IF YOU WANT, BUT CAREFULLY.Heard a lot about it. The only concern I have is; whether this book is an original publication printed in India by Replika Press or a brilliant copy of it? The quality is good but what prompted me to ask this is the mistake in the content and that too in the Introduction.I downloaded this book on kindle and it was fine. Sharing pics for reference. Pic 1 is the physical book and Pic 2 is kindle edition. Mistake is underlined in both?So what’s the scenario here, Amazon.Are there any duplicates being sold at original prices??What is your quality department doing if that’s the case???

The book was just an elaborated version of the same content that’s available on Jim Kwik’s YouTube channel and podcast. Nothing new or different. Methods suggested were good but it’s the same thing that’s already there online.

I heard so much about Jim Kwik and was so excited to start reading this book. But if you read about personal development on a regular basis, there is not much to learn out of this book. No new methods about learning or speed reading except what you would commonly find on the internet. I was expecting so much and could only find very very few interesting and useful tips. This is very very disappointing. this was a waste of time. The book is nothing else but a sales pitch for online training.
