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

I have heard Jim on several podcasts and was very interested to hear a more thorough explanation of his methodologies in his book. Unfortunately, that is not what his book is. What I do now know is that apparently his website and online courses are where these detailed explanations lie. I guess it is my fault really. He makes some very impressive claims on the benefits his methodologies provide. I was seemingly foolish to expect he would offer those kind of secrets up in a twenty dollar book. Obviously the only way to get something like that is through his $500 plus courses. I apologize for my naivety. This is mostly a sales pitch for his online courses with a few unoriginal tips pilfered from long-standing thinking on brain health and function.

If you listen to the podcast, you already have all the information needed from this book. If you haven't listened to the podcast and you get value out of reading, then you will find some value in this book.Be warned: A LOT OF ACRONYMS involved with this book.As an aside, some of our moms were horrible people and we'd rather not remember them even if it is a memory device.Really, save yourself the money and listen to the podcast.

I bought this book wanting to learn how to read faster and enhance my memory. I got more than that.Kwik describes learning myths like:-->You’re as smart as you’ll ever be. (You’re not).
-->Education ends when you graduate school. (The real world is a constant test).
-->Believing you are not as smart and skilled as others.-->Learning something new is hard (e.g., a language, musical instrument, a card game, poetry, baking).I've believed all these things at various times. Kwik's message is you're better than that.You can walk away from this book smarter than when you started. There are no magic tricks, but you learn the principles of how to get a stronger mindset, how to discover your purpose and beat procrastination, and methods to become limitless such as speed-reading, memory recall, study habits, focus, and decision making.

I think what's most powerful about this book is that you learn the simple art of appreciating yourself. You understand that you are capable of many great things. I certainly have a lot to consider after reading this book. I always thought it was too late in life to learn a new language. But now I don't think so. Now there is so much I want to learn!What I learned:--There are learning myths holding us back.--I love this quote: “Genius leaves clues. There is always a method behind what looks like magic.” 
I think you can apply this to so many things in life. If you want to get better at X, look at the masters you admire. What was their story? What did they study?--
Discovering your guiding question will help you make decisions and frame all your actions around a purpose.--
I can read a lot faster and still comprehend!
--Rote learning is not the way to remember. I have tools like visualization to remember more.
I don’t want to wind up losing my memory one day or having something like Alzheimer's happen. I believe this book and others are important tools in my arsenal to keep me young and healthy.

Step one into the marketing funnel

Not disappointed with Kwik's book. But if you've dug the internet about him and especialy his YouTube, most notions he presents in the book are a wrap up of that together with many great book references and borrowed ideas. There's no denying he does offer some novelty and he's talented at wording it. However if you're a voracious consumer of the contemporary self-help best-sellers then you'll notice the spin-offs. The parts where he inserted self-advertisement of his other products irritated me a bit and disrupted some of the content experience for me and the 25% end of the book was just references and index (which was too much for any book I'm reading and I've put this in reviews before). If you're not a voracious book reader then this book will all be new to you and I encourage you to read it. Some advice from it was really great and helpful and his methods of shrinking big ideas into acronyms has always been an easy tool. Expect repetitions of his work hear to toe if you're already familiar with him in the media.

I've been a long time self-empowerment reader and podcast listener, but the limitless formula and teachings in this book are next level. This should be the foundation that all our education systems are built on. Learning how to learn is by far the greatest superpower we can nourish. I wish I had this book 10 years ago. I now want to share it with all my friends. Thanks, Jim!

This book is life-changing! I am so inspired and, frankly, relieved at Jim's work...I was beginning to think that I was experiencing cognitive decline until I started using Jim's strategies and tools. I have now bought several copies and sent them out to all of the people I know who can benefit from these tools...and that's just about everyone!! I started reading the book with my six-year-old grandson who was really interested in Jim's experience as a child and concerned about his injury. He was riveted...surprisingly. But, he likes the idea of thinking of learning as a superpower and I think he'll be using these techniques for a lifetime!! Do yourself and your loved ones a favor....BUY THIS BOOK AND SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES! Best gift you will ever give.

This book comes with a free 10-day course. If you don't see the offer immediately, google "Limitless Jim Kwik". It's there.Well written in a format that is often reminiscent of the "For Dummies" series. Skeptic that I am, I can't guarantee that this book will change your life, but I can tell you that it's a decent read.

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.

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.

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.

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 hood but what printed 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???
