“One of my core beliefs is that human potential is one of the only infinite resources we have in this world. Most everything else is finite, but the human mind is the ultimate superpower—there is no limit to our creativity, imagination, determination, or ability to think, reason, or learn. Yet this resource is also among the least tapped.” – Jim Kwik

Introduction

Jim Kwik suffered a brain injury as a child, which made it difficult for him to learn. However, he taught himself how to learn again and can now recall large amounts of information. He believes that anyone can improve their mental abilities by changing their mindset, motivation, or learning method.

StoryShot #1: The Fundamentals

• Jim Kwik introduces the FASTER method in his book Limitless, which includes fundamental skills and encourages readers to use them. FASTER stands for Forget, Act, State, Teach, Enter, and Review. To focus on a task, remove potential distractions. Learning should be active, not passive. Your learning depends on your psychological and physiological state. Learn with the intention of teaching someone else. Schedule opportunities for personal growth. To limit the impact of the forgetting curve, actively recall information using spaced repetition, increasing time intervals between reviews.

StoryShot #2: The 3 Ms

The 3Ms - Mindset, Motivation, and Methods - are the foundation of limitless learning. The unlimiting process involves removing self-imposed limitations in these three areas to unlock your potential. Your mindset and motivation inspire you to learn, leading to limitless ideation, which must be combined with effective methods for implementation. Kwik identifies three self-imposed limits that prevent us from excelling: mindset, motivation, and methods. By adopting a limitless mindset, generating motivation through a repeatable process, and mastering learning methods, you can become truly limitless.

StoryShot #3: The 4,3,2,1 Method

Believing in your own abilities is key to improving them. To increase reading speed, one should suspend limiting beliefs and act as though their potential is limitless. The 4, 3, 2, 1 method is a ten-minute exercise that involves reading for decreasing intervals of time while underlining each word. After the exercise, one should resume reading at a comfortable pace and compare the results to see an improvement in reading speed. Simply believing that you can read faster can lead to an upgrade in your abilities.
