The Case for Limitlessness Has Its Limits

Daniel Ansari

Limitless Mind: Learn, Lead, and Live without Barriers by Jo Boaler HarperCollins, 2019, $26.99; 256 pages.

As reviewed by Daniel Ansari

Perhaps it’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover—but the bright splashes of color on the cover of Limitless Mind certainly suggest that this book will be full of positive messages. And it is. Jo Boaler, a professor of mathematics education at Stanford, devotes a chapter to each of six “learning keys.” Each key is a variation on the overall theme of the book, which sets out to make the case that intelligence is not a fixed entity, and that most everyone has the potential to learn most anything. In parts, this volume reads like a self-help book for developing positive self-beliefs and unleashing one’s previously unknown intellectual powers. It contains touching anecdotes and examples of how to apply the keys to achieving a “limitless mind,” with particular attention to math. However, while the book’s content is a mile wide, its substance is little more than an inch deep.

The central themes of the book are aligned with Boaler’s previous volume, Mathematical Mindsets, but here she recasts her message to address audiences beyond K–12 math educators. As in the earlier book, Boaler grounds her main thesis in Carol Dweck’s highly popular “mindset” theory, which holds that many children and adults have fixed mindsets: they believe they have limited competencies and will hit a distinct ceiling in what they can learn and do. Individuals with a “growth” mindset, by contrast, believe that if they apply themselves and work hard, they can overcome challenges and continue to acquire new knowledge and skills. There is, of course, much to like about the notion that students can change their mindsets, alter the way they view their own learning, come to realize that with work and practice they can build their skills, and ultimately understand that learning involves struggle.

Unfortunately, Boaler’s review of the empirical literature on efforts to change mindsets uses outdated studies and overstates the effects of the interventions. Some of the early studies on this subject did indeed suggest that mindset interventions among students had large transfer effects on their academic learning, but subsequent work with larger, more representative samples of students has shown that these effects are, at best, modest—and possibly, nonexistent. A recent study with more than 12,000 U.S. 9th graders showed that, following less than an hour of computerized mindset intervention, lower-achieving students raised their grade point averages by 0.1 points in subjects such as math, science, and English—representing a small but significant transfer effect. In contrast, a randomized controlled trial conducted by the United Kingdom’s Education Endowment Foundation found almost no evidence for a positive effect of a mindset intervention targeted at both students and their teachers. In sum, the evidence from these large-scale trials is mixed, and the positive effects reported are smaller than those conveyed in some of the earlier work on mindset intervention that Boaler cites in her book. The newest research does not support the book’s strong claims about mindset .

Ironically, despite reviews and blog posts pointing out Boaler’s clear errors of interpretation and inference in her previous writings, she adopts a fixed mindset when it comes to scientific evidence, continuing her past tendency to play fast and loose with these findings and to ignore those that run counter to her narrative.

In Chapter 2, for example, the author discusses research on neuronal plasticity—the ability of the brain to change in its structure and activity as a function of learning and skills acquisition. She uses evidence that the brain changes when we learn and that it can recover (at least partially) from injury as support for her assertion that all humans can do anything they put their minds to and that there are no differences between them in terms of their learning potential. In so doing, Boaler paints brain plasticity as invariably positive. However, brain plasticity is a biological mechanism by which organisms adapt to their environments. It is neither positive nor negative, and it offers no direct implications for the way scientists think about learning and education. Certainly, if brains were not capable of changing there would be no point in having schools and other places of learning, but beyond this basic fact, the tangible implications of brain plasticity are limited. Our brains are changing all the time, but it does not follow that our learning capabilities are limitless.

Similarly, Boaler takes evidence that brain regions are connected to one another to suggest that people benefit from a “multidimensional approach” to teaching and learning. In teaching math, for instance, such an approach would focus not just on solving problems and applying formulas but also on building such skills as asking good questions, interpreting a problem in various ways, using logic and reasoning, and explaining concepts to others. The author states that “anyone can learn the content of any subject with a multidimensional approach.” Not only is this a very strong claim about the equipotentiality of learners, but its link to research on brain connectivity is nothing but tenuous.

Boaler also presents a ringing endorsement of the educational approaches of Barbara Arrowsmith, who has developed a commercial program to help students with learning disabilities. The program is based on an idiosyncratic interpretation of brain plasticity inspired by Arrowsmith’s own experience with brain injury. In her enthusiastic discussion of Arrowsmith’s approach, Boaler does not mention that the program has not been supported by rigorous empirical evidence, such as a randomized controlled trial, and has been widely criticized by leading developmental psychologists.

Throughout the book, Boaler adopts such an extreme “nurture” bias that I almost expected her to endorse the “tabula rasa” view of child development: that children are born as blank slates without biological constraints on how they learn and develop. In overemphasizing nurture, Boaler ignores mountains of research showing that nature does influence differences between people: our genetic makeups do make us different from each other. Boaler briefly acknowledges that “at birth everyone is born with their own unique brain, and there are differences between people’s brains,” but she undercuts that by going on to say, “but the differences people are born with are eclipsed by the many ways people can change their brains.” This argument, and the even more startling assertion that “less than 0.001 percent” of individuals are influenced by the capabilities they were born with, are offered without any substantiating evidence.

The messages of Limitless Mind might leave some readers feeling positive and uplifted—but ignoring the truth that people vary in their abilities and learning potential could leave others frustrated that, even after adopting a growth mindset and a “multidimensional approach,” they still don’t succeed in their learning as fully as others. It is unscientific to ignore the well-established fact that both nature and nurture have complex effects on learning and development and indeed are related to one another. Claims to the contrary set up dangerous and unrealistic expectations. Instead of buying in to the irresponsible message that we all have exactly the same potential, educators might do well to embrace the diversity of human skills and ability and seek to design educational environments that allow individuals to express who they are. Rather than proclaiming the limitlessness of all minds, teachers and parents might choose to place no limits on their appreciation of, and compassion for, the numerous, fascinating differences among people.

Limitless Mind

If parents, educators and managers read only one book on how to maximize potential and improve lives, Limitless Mind should be it. Author Jo Boaler provides a plain language explanation of the latest developments in neuroscience and how we can use it to unlock the true potential of the human brain.

Limitless Mind is the most powerful book on unlocking human potential in years. It goes beyond theoretical explanations, and presents practical steps to living in a way that is not limited by talent, natural giftedness or genetic traits. In fact, as Boaler explains, the idea that some people are born with or without natural abilities is damaging and form the perspective of neuroscience, not true.

This book is the current high water mark demonstrating how the lessons from neuroscience can help us to shape and enhance our lives for the better. It demonstrates how everyone can be good at math, or how everyone can develop their creativity. It is filled with liberating ideas and practical advice from the cutting edge of what we understand about the human brain.

What others have said about Limitless Mind

“Boaler is one of those rare and remarkable educators who not only know the secret of great teaching but also know how to give that gift to others.”  CAROL DWECK, author of  Mindset

“Jo Boaler is one of the most creative and innovative educators today. Limitless Mind marries cutting-edge brain science with her experience in the classroom, not only proving that each of us has limitless potential but offering strategies for how we can achieve it.” LAURENE POWELL JOBS

Unlocking Our True Potential

Traditional education systems and teaching approaches can do more harm than good when it comes to helping students reach their full potential.  Limitless Mind illustrates how the lessons from neuroscience can allow us to move beyond traditional ways of thinking to take part in a journey of truly endless potential.

The book features the Arrowsmith Program that uses the concepts found in neuroscience to allow people with learning difficulties to unlock their true potential and work toward unlimited academic and social success. Whether suffering from specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia, or wanting to improve social or academic abilities, the Arrowsmith Program, has meaningful and permanent solutions. Solutions that are effective regardless of age or current ability.

Jo Boaler takes a deep dive into the limitless qualities of the human brain. She provides an explanation for why some people demonstrate talent, and helps us to understand how the world’s greatest minds were created, not born.

The amount of neuroscience research available can be overwhelming and difficult to understand the real-life implications. Jo Boaler brings to light the critical findings of the latest neuroscience  and describes practical ways that it can be used to change lives for the better.

Just reading the book will provide a sense of what is it like to live without barriers.

If you want your child to increase their true success and overcome the inherent challenges of a fast-paced competitive world, Limitless Mind is an essential read.

Blogging on business, limitless mind: a book review by bob morris.

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re probably right.”   Henry Ford

Ford’s observation suggests that most human limitations are self-imposed. Jo Boaler agrees: “When we give up on something and decide we cannot do it, it is rarely because of actual limits; instead, it is because we have decided we cannot do it.” Moreover, I am among those who believe that limits and constraints are essential to creative thinking. They challenge — and thereby stimulate — our imagination, forcing us to improvise and innovate in ways and to an extent that would otherwise probably not be possible. Boaler may or may not agree with that but I certainly agree with her and countless others that a fixed mindset precludes such opportunities whereas a growth mindset embraces them.

Consider these observations by Carol Dweck: “My work bridges developmental psychology, social psychology, and personality psychology, and examines the self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior. My research looks at the origins of these mindsets, their role in motivation and self-regulation, and their impact on achievement and interpersonal processes.”

Her inquiry into our beliefs is synthesized in Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. The book takes us on a journey into how our conscious and unconscious thoughts affect us and how something as simple as wording can have a powerful impact on our ability to improve.

Dweck’s work shows the power of our most basic beliefs. Whether conscious or subconscious, they strongly “affect what we want and whether we succeed in getting it. Much of what we think we understand of our personality comes from our mindset. This both propels us and prevents us from fulfilling our potential.”

This is a field of inquiry of great importance to me. That is why I am so grateful to Boaler as well as to Michael Schrage who, in The Innovator’s Hypothesis, explains how and why “simple, fast, cheap, smart, lean, and important experiments can supercharge any serious innovation process.” And as I worked my way through Boaler’s narrative, I was again reminded of this passage in Paul Schoemaker’s book, Brilliant Mistakes: “The key question companies need to address is not `[begin italics] Should [end italics] we make mistakes?’ but rather [begin italics] Which [end italics] mistakes should we make in order to test our deeply held assumptions?’” This is precisely what Anjali Sastry and Kara Penn have in mind when introducing, in Fail Better, what they characterize as a better approach to innovation: designing smart mistakes, learn from them, and thereby achieve greater success and do so sooner.

Peter Sims also has much of value to say about this strategy in Little Bets: How Breakthrough Ideas Emerge from Small Discoveries. As he explains, “At the core of this experimental approach, little bets are concrete actions taken to discover, test, and develop ideas that are achievable and affordable. They begin as creative possibilities that get iterated and refined over time, and they are particularly valuable when trying to navigate amid uncertainty, create something new, or attend to open-ended problems.”

Boaler wrote this book in order to help as many people as possible to develop “a limitless perspective,” one that celebrates their being, their essence, who they are. She shares six “learning keys” that can guide and inform as well as nourish almost anyone’s curiosity during their journey to learn, to lead others, and to live without self-imposed barriers to personal growth and professional development.

These are among the passages in Limitless Mind of greatest interest and value to me, also listed to suggest the extent of Boaler’s coverage:

o The Fixed Brain Message (Pages 19-23) o Changing Perceptions and Brains (23-32) o Teaching the Value of Mistakes (55-68) o Changing Mindsets (84-89) o What About Trailblazers? (106-108)

o When Teachers Learn — and Use — a Multidimensional Approach (116-131) o The Effects of Stress and Anxiety (135-138) o Conceptual Learning (147-163) o Why Is Collaboration Important? (166-172) o A Limitless Approach to Connections and Collaborations (185-196)

In her latest book, Jo Boaler explains how to develop a disruptive [begin italics] mindset [end italics], one that enables her reader to avoid or overcome limits imposed by what James O’Toole so aptly characterizes as “the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom.” This is precisely what she has in mind when observing, “So my final advice to you is to embrace struggle and fail, to take risks, and to not let people obstruct your pathways. If a barrier or roadblock is put in your way, find a way to take a different approach…Sometimes we won’t succeed, and that is okay, but we will always be helped by setting out on the journey — especially if the perspective we take on that journey is truly limitless.”

In the spirit of Tennyson’s Ulysses, “to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

“A courageous freethinker with fresh ideas on learning.”  —  BOOKLIST

In this revolutionary book, a professor of education at Stanford University and acclaimed math educator who has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education, reveals the six keys to unlocking learning potential, based on the latest scientific findings.

From the moment we enter school as children, we are made to feel as if our brains are fixed entities, capable of learning certain things and not others, influenced exclusively by genetics. This notion follows us into adulthood, where we tend to simply accept these established beliefs about our skillsets (i.e. that we don’t have “a math brain” or that we aren’t “the creative type”). These damaging—and as new science has revealed, false—assumptions have influenced all of us at some time, affecting our confidence and willingness to try new things and limiting our choices, and, ultimately, our futures.

Stanford University professor, bestselling author, and acclaimed educator Jo Boaler has spent decades studying the impact of beliefs and bias on education. In Limitless Mind , she explodes these myths and reveals the six keys to unlocking our boundless learning potential. Her research proves that those who achieve at the highest levels do not do so because of a genetic inclination toward any one skill but because of the keys that she reveals in the book. Our brains are not “fixed,” but entirely capable of change, growth, adaptability, and rewiring. Want to be fluent in mathematics? Learn a foreign language? Play the guitar? Write a book? The truth is not only that anyone at any age can learn anything , but the act of learning itself fundamentally changes who we are, and as Boaler argues so elegantly in the pages of this book, what we go on to achieve.

Limitless Mind: Learn, Lead, and Live Without Barriers by Jo Boaler

Limitless Mind: Learn, Lead, and Live Without Barriers by Jo Boaler explains what you can do for your own thinking and that of your students to be truly limitless. It draws on educational and brain research that points out that the brain changes when we learn. There is also a focus on the power of mistakes, how changing your mind can change your reality and the benefits of collaboration. Flexible thinking is better than fast thinking and learning is more effective when it is multidimensional. Although Jo comes from the field of math, this book is valuable to all educators and all people.

Introduction: The Six Keys

• We know that the brain changes over time. The concept is called neuroplasticity . This means that if you get stuck when you are trying to learn something, it’s important that you not start thinking that your brain isn’t made for that type of learning. The most common type of learning anxiety that impacts about half of the population is math anxiety. Some also suffer from writing anxiety or think that they have no artistic skills. As the title suggests, everyone should think that their mind and their ability to learn is limitless rather than fixed. This agrees with Carol Dweck’s concept of the growth mindset . See my summary of her book here . When you hit a limit, you need to develop a new strategy rather than quit. Reject stereotypical messages and keep going. Praise students for hard work and creativity rather than telling them they are smart. Above all, make sure they know that you believe in them.

1. How Neuroplasticity Changes Everything

• For the last twenty years or so we have known that the human brain is constantly changing. The brain you have today isn’t the one you woke up with yesterday. We don’t come prewired to be good at some things and bad at other things. We ALL have to work to form and reinforce the neural connections we need to do our jobs and live our lives. The big lesson is don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t learn something and be good at it.
• Boeler sites research that shows how learning disabilities can be overcome with the right kind of brain training. Check out her site at YouCubed.org for more information. There are inspirational stories here about people who were told they couldn’t do something and ended up doing great things. Most schools also have gifted programs. The idea that you can identify some kids as gifted reinforces a fixed-brain way of thinking. Gifted kids can benefit from gifted programs, but when they struggle they are likely to give up thinking that their fixed brain has reached its limit. Regardless of what kind of brain you are born with, what you learn will depend on how hard you work and struggle, not what you started with. Jo also writes about how stereotypes regarding women and minorities can lead to lower expectations and lower achievement.

2. Why We Should Love Mistakes, Struggle, and Even Failure

• The times we struggle and make mistakes are the best times for brain growth. Teachers need to promote this concept and learn how to make students struggle. People who face struggle and stop no doubt have a fixed mindset. Students should know that they don’t always have to be right as it’s not good brain exercise. Schoolwork should be challenging. You learn at the edge of your understanding, which shouldn’t be too easy.
• Self-testing and peer-testing are valuable, as retrieval reinforces your brain’s memory circuits. The steps of struggle include, I don’t know this, this isn’t easy, I’m confused, I need to work hard on this, and I think I’m getting it. All of this is true even for kindergarten or younger. Understanding the positive benefits of mistakes can unlock a limitless life. You don’t want to let children give up to save them from struggle as your efforts are likely to backfire. Rather, support them as they struggle. Never give up on any student. See challenge as an opportunity. Change your negative self-talk to positive self-talk. Be guided by your interests, not your fears.

Limitless: My action plan to learn anything faster, by Jim Kwik – A Book Review

Published by mr. nomad numbers on march 12, 2021 march 12, 2021.

As we are still enjoying some time at the beach (check our Instagram account for the latest), it is time for another book review! Today we will discuss a book that makes bold claims like “upgrading your brain”, “learning anything faster” and “unlocking [an] exceptional life”.

“If knowledge is power, then learning is a superpower”   JIM KWIK

In this article I will be going over the book Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life that I read in February 2021. I will explain why I decided to read this book, what the book is about, give you a high-level summary, share my takeaways from it as well as the specific action items I plan to implement after reading it. (that last part is probably the most important part of reading any self-improvement book).

So, without further ado, let’s dig in!

Some links to the products mentioned below are affiliate links, meaning that if you click and make a purchase, we (Nomad Numbers) may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. For more information please review our disclaimer page .

Why Limitless?

I found about this book when Mrs. NN mentioned Jim Kwik (his real name!) to me after she started listening to his podcast: Kwik Brain . I decided to start reading it as a follow-up to another personal development book I read earlier this year: Super Human: The Bulletproof Plan to Age Backward and Maybe Even Live Forever (read my review here ). 

Book summary

What is the book about.

In a nutshell, Limitless is a book divided into three parts: Mindset, Motivation, and Methods and for each of these parts, the author will provide ways to remove limitations associated with each of them so you can become literally Limitless! Let’s go through the content of the book.

Part I – Free Your Mind

In this first part, Jim covers his personal life as a child and explains the handicap he had after experiencing a brain injury that made it very difficult for him to learn and retain information while it was actually a limitation he put on himself and that we also put on ourselves. 

He offers his Limitless Model to remove any limitations you might have about yourself. The Limitless Model is made of a three-part framework: Mindset (the what), Motivation (the why), and Method (the how).

Before digging into his framework, Jim talks about the four supervillains of learning: 

• Digital Deluge : the amount of information we have access to and how much we consume per day, pulling us away from meaningful work/activities
• Digital Distraction : the negative effect of being always connected and especially getting distracted with notifications on our devices (phone, tablet, laptops)
• Digital Dementia : the fact that we rely on our devices to remember everything (from phone numbers to directions) which reduces how much you need to use our brain for 
• Digital Deduction : making decisions by relying on Internet sources or opinion rather than our own

Jim then explains the power of our brain and how it can grow and expand the more we use it, creating new connections as we need to retain more information during our entire life. He also digs into our second brain (aka our gut) and how the two are interconnected and what we feed ourselves might matter as much as the work to acquire new knowledge.

He closes this section by providing the FASTER method to absorb quickly any content you consume. FASTER stands for Forget, Act, State, Teach, Enter, and Review.

Some action-items from Jim to Free Your Mind:

• Schedule 30 minutes of white space in your calendar for this week to be away from technology and use this time to relax and be creative instead
• Go to the notification settings of your phone and turn off everything unnecessary.
• Take a minute to exercise your memory by memorizing the phone number of someone you communicate with regularly
• Think about a decision you need to make. Schedule some time to work on that decision without the use of any digital devices
• Identify which of the 4 digital villains is most disrupting your performance

Part II – Limitless Mindset (What)

In this section, the author focuses on the Mindset (the what) related to learning and demystifies some limiting beliefs we have about it so we can both understand what they are and how to overcome them. 

Jim then goes on to share the 7 lies of learning that we tell ourselves:

• Lie #1: Intelligence is fixed – Not true, intelligence is fluid.
• Lie #2: We only use 10% of our brains – Not true, we should learn to use our whole brain in the best way possible. 
• Lie #3: Mistakes are failures – Not true, there are no such things as failure, only failure to learn. 
• Lie #4: Knowledge is power – Not true, knowledge is not power. It only has the potential to be power. (Knowledge x Action = Power)
• Lie #5: Learning new things is very difficult – Not true, when you learn new ways how to learn, the challenge of learning new things can be fun, easier, and more enjoyable.
• Lie #6: The criticism of other people matters – Not true, what matters is how you live, and taking criticism from others can only lead to having them run or ruin your life. It is your own job to like, love, or respect yourself, not someone else.
• Lie #7: Genius is born – Not true, genius is made through deep practice.

“Knowledge is not power. It only has the potential to be power.” JIM KWIK

Some action-items from Jim Kwik about Mindset:

• When you are about to read, set a timer for 25 minutes and concentrate on what you are reading in the book for that amount of time. When the alarm goes off, bookmark the book and close it then write down what you learned within that 25 minute period.
• When reading and your mind wanders, keep a notebook close by to capture these thoughts or ideas by writing them down so they can be released temporarily from your mind.
• Before each reading, take a few minutes to talk/write about what you remember from your previous reading session 
• How many of the 7 lies of learning do you believe in?   

Part III – Limitless Motivation (Why)

In this part of the book, Jim covers Motivation (the why) and explains that motivation is “purpose” times “energy” times “small simple steps”. When you combine all of these ingredients you get to sustainable motivation.

“Motivation is a set of habits and routines, guided by your values and your identity that you carry out every day.”  JIM KWIK

Jim starts by defining our Purpose and provide a few useful definitions:

• Our identity : It is who we are. It usually starts with “I am…”.
• Our purpose : It is what gets you up in the morning and how we relate to other people. It is how we use our passions. – Example: “to teach other people to learn”
• Our passions : They are what bring us joy and they are something we find through discovery and experimentation. – Example: learning
• Our values : it is a prioritized list of what is most important in our lives (they usually don’t change over time) – Example: “love, growth, contribution and adventure”, in that order
• Our reasons :  it is what keeps us motivated and supports our passion, identity, and values. They are expressed using the format “I want to… so that…”  – Example: “ I want to learn to remember names so that I can better connect with people in my community and help foster a stronger network of people I care about.”

He then moves to defines Energy and provides his top 10 recommendations for generating limitless brainpower:

• A good brain diet (Avocadoes, Blueberries, Broccoli, Dark chocolate, Eggs, Green leafy vegetables, Salmon/Sardines/Caviar, Turmeric, Walnuts, and Water).
• Brain nutrients
• Killing ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts)
• A clean environment – Air, water…
• A positive peer group – We are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with
• Brain protection – Protect your head from injuries
• New Learning – Always learn something new
• Stress Management – Stress will kill you
• Sleep – Sleep is key to consolidate your memory and learning from the day

Jim then explains how to take small simple steps by:

• breaking down bigger tasks into smaller ones that can be easily completed to give us a constant sense of achievement and progress
• creating new habits (using the habit loop: cue, craving, response, reward) using small increments and building on your progress over time 
• building a morning routine to jump-start your day.

He also shares his morning routine:

• Recording your dream as you wake up – To look for new ideas or new perception
• Making the bed – An easy win to start the day
• Drinking a tall glass of water – To hydrate the body and the brain
• Brushing your teeth with the opposite hand – To stimulate the brain
• Doing a three minutes workout – To raise the heart rate and increase oxygenation of the brain
• Taking a cold shower – To reset the nervous system and manage inflammation
• Breathing exercise – To fully oxygenate the body
• Drinking a “brain tea“
• Drinking a “brain smoothie”

He wrapped up this section of the book by talking about flow , how to get into it (by eliminating distraction, giving yourself enough time, doing something you love, having clear goals, challenging yourself), and what are the major enemies of flow (multitasking, stress, fear of failure, lack of conviction).  

Some action-items from Jim Kwik about Motivation:

• Do you know your life’s purpose? Write down what it could be
• Take 60 seconds and write down “I am…” statement to figure out your identity
• Set your phone alarm to remind yourself to move for a few minutes every hour
• What is your biggest ANT? What could you replace it with?
• What is one thing you can do today to clean your environment?
• Who is someone you need to spend more time with? Reach out and make a date with that person now!
• Create an ongoing “To Learn” list. Start populating it.
• What are your favorite things to do to cope with stress? When was the last time you did it?
• Think about an important task you’ve been putting off. What is it? How can you break it down into simpler steps that you can do each day?
• Can you identify the habits you want to break? What is that one habit that’s holding you back from doing other important things in your day? 
• Create your new morning routine. What are 3 things you will always do when you first wake up to set up your day to win?
• Have you ever experienced the flow state? Where were you? What were you doing? How did it feel? What did you achieve at the end of it? Visualize that state.

Part IV – Limitless Methods (How)

This section covers Methods (the how) to learn the science of accelerated learning and meta-learning in five areas: focus, study, memory, speed reading, and thinking. For the focus , Jim suggests looking at our to-do list for the day and identify what can disrupt us, and offers anti procrastination tools to address such items. Then we should declutter our environment so we aren’t distracted by unnecessary stimuli (like notifications, too many apps open on our laptop, pictures of our loved one standing on our desks, and so on). Last but not least practicing techniques to calm our busy mind (like meditation or yoga).

For the study , Jim provides seven simple habits to help us absorb any content more efficiently:

• Employ active recall – Review the material then immediately check how much you remember
• Employed spaces repetitions – Review the material at similar interval 
• Manage the state you are In – How motivated are you? Make sure you have a good posture (sit straight)
• Use your sense of smell – Smells are effective at bringing back memory so use an essential oil on your wrist when studying/reading and again during a test/meeting 
• Music for the mind – Baroque music creates an atmosphere of focus
• Listen with your whole brain – Use HEAR ( Halt – be completely present and remove all distraction, Empathy – imagine yourself in the speaker shoes, Anticipate – engage in the experience with a sense of anticipation, Review – engage with the speaker, ask clarifying questions)
• Take note of taking notes – Use TIP ( Think – what are you hoping to retain from the material/session?, Identify – Identify what is most important, Prioritize – review your notes and highlight what is most important after the session).

For the memory , always remember MOM:

• Motivation – what motivates you to remember something?
• Observation – pay attention to what you want to remember
• Methods   – use tools to help you remember).

Most people approach learning as a passive activity, however, Jim suggests to take an active approach and focus on the following:

• Visualization : paint a picture of what you would like to remember. 
• Association : associate the information with something you already know
• Emotion: add emotion (make the memory humorous, action-filled) to make it last
• Location : associate a memory with a location you are more likely to remember it

He then provides various exercises to practice these. Like using a common location you know well and putting these 10 words you want to remember. Then use Emotion to Visualize these words and Associate them with each item in that location. For instance, if you think about your kitchen, you can place items on the table, kitchen, gas stove and so on… 

To remember people’s name use BE SUAVE

• Believe – Believe that you can remember
• Exercise – Like with every tool, practice makes progress
• Say It – When you hear someone’s name for the first time, say it back to confirm you hear it correctly
• Use It – During the conversation, use the person’s name
• Ask – Ask where a person’s name comes from
• Visualization – Try to attach an image to the person’s name
• End – End your conversation by saying the person’s name

For speed reading , Jim suggests reading a book like watching a movie. In other words, instead of being slowed down by subvocalization (the voice inside our head when we read) and reading every single word we should expand our peripheral vision and grab a group of words together. Jim also suggests practicing reading with a visual pacer (to prevent regression), counting (to avoid subvocalization) holding your book upright, reading for 20-25 minutes at a time. 

Jim also suggests making a list of books you would like to read for a given month and capture what can change in your life once you are done reading it. 

For the thinking , Jim goes over the 6 thinking hats (white, yellow, black, red, green, blue) where you can think about a problem. He also explains the 8 distinct forms of intelligence (spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, linguistic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic) and how each of them can be used while facing a particular task or problem. Last but not least he describes the 3 learning styles there is: Visual (learning through illustration), Auditory (learning through listening), and Kinesthetic (learning via physical interaction).  

Some action-items from Jim Kwik about Methods:

• Rate your current level of concentration from 0 to 10. Now rate your desire to increase this level. Your concentration is like a muscle. You can train to become stronger with practice
• What is that one thing that you’re avoiding that is affecting your focus?
• Schedule your next distraction time
• Think about a subject or topic you’d like to learn this month. How would you go about studying this topic? What’s your current approach or process?
• How would you rate your memory right now? What aspects would you like to improve?
• Block out at least 15 minutes each day for reading and put it in your calendar like an important appointment. Commit to making reading part of your daily habit.
• Take a moment to create your not-to-do list for today. What are the things you want to avoid today to focus and achieve your goals? Be specific and check off that list by not doing it.

Bottom line

After reading this book, you will have a better understanding of what it takes to become a super learner and be able to learn (and retain) anything faster by using the Limitless Model.

The model lets you overcome your limitations in three areas:

• Mindset – By understanding what distracts us to learn and how our brain works you will know what to do to be in the optimum environment to start learning and becoming limitless
• Motivation – By understanding what is motivation, how to define it (drive, purpose, passions, reasons), and how to sustain it (energy) you will be able to amplify your ability to learn anything 
• Methods – By using new methods you will replace the archaic ones you use to learn and tap into accelerated learning to retain a much greater quantity of information at a faster pace.

“If you are struggling to reach a goal in any area, you must first ask: Where is the limit? Most likely, you’re experiencing a limit in your mindset, motivation, or methods—which means that it’s not a personal shortcoming or failure pointing to any perceived lack of ability.” JIM KWIK

Book review

I gave this book a 5/5 review which means it belongs to the curated list of books I would highly recommend to anyone that wants to bring their learning ability to the next level.

The book is very easy to read and the methods are definitely showing results. These methods are actually the best part of the book for me. The book is also a very uplifting and motivating book. 

Jim however has a tendency to promote a lot of his services through the book, which is a bit annoying but not a big deal to get the content he shares in his book. 

My Action Plan

As Jim Kwik says, knowledge isn’t power until you put it into action. So after reading this book here are the action items I decided to focus on (in no particular order):

• Read 24 books in 2021 – My initial goal was 12 and I am doubling it as I’ve already read 2 books in February alone. Let’s see if I can manage to hit this aggressive goal! To make it more manageable I will block 30 minutes each day to read, before bedtime. And for each book I read, I will write a summary and publish it via a blog post to keep me accountable.
• Listen to baroque music when doing important work – There are plenty of “Baroque” playlists on Spotify that I can tune in to
• Practice the speed reading technique
• Think about my not-to-do list – Especially capturing anything that might disrupt me through the day and find a way to deal with each of them.
• Re-validate my purpose – Going through the suggestion from the book to review my passions and how they related to my purpose and identity and make sure it is still relevant.
• Practice BE SUAVE to remember people’s names – Something I’ve always struggled with.

What about you?

Are you having trouble remembering people’s names or learning a new language? Or maybe you wish to be able to read faster to absorb much quicker any new content you consume? Do you think you aren’t capable of improving your learning abilities? Do you believe you need a magic pill to do so? Are you having difficulty preparing for an exam or an important meeting? Do you always have to read your notes when giving a presentation to a large audience?  If you answer YES to any of these questions, you should definitely consider reading Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life .

Thanks for the review. I tried this book on Audible earlier this year but couldn’t bring myself to like it. I just purchased the paperback and hopefully would learn and put it into practice. Cheers!

Mr. Nomad Numbers · November 16, 2021 at 11:26 am

Hi Kamarul. This is great to hear! Everyone has their own method when it comes to consuming books! If you have time once you finish the book, please take a minute to share with us what are some of the biggest changes that you will be able to put together thanks to this book!

Lena · January 21, 2024 at 9:27 pm

Extremely disappointing. Not worth your time.

The author boasts about his successes and experiences and successful experiences from other people that have followed his methods but the methods are not even explained properly and are extremely mediocre. The author constantly cites a lot of other books, whilst this one does not hold any promises of what will be accomplished upon reading it. Maybe it is better reading the other books as this one has little to no value.

Constant talk about methods ant techniques that will help you achieve faster learning and so on, but the methods are at the very end of the book, very scarce and not systematic.

This book, as many others of the sorts, has only one purpose – to sell the most copies and to make you look up other books/talks the author has created.

Avoid, put your time to better use.

Mr. Nomad Numbers · January 23, 2024 at 4:25 am

Thank you for your comment Lena.

May I ask you which techniques have you tried and that did not met your expectations? I’ve been really happy with the methods that Jim’s suggested and I’m still using some of these today. So I guess your mileage might vary?

My review of limitless: the new jim kwik book.

Last Updated on February 13, 2022 by Kari

A new Jim Kwik book came out and I didn’t hear about it until I heard him talking in Mindvalley University about the concept of being limitless. In that talk, he referenced his Limitless book about 5 times, which was a smart idea because after seeing it so many times I knew I wanted to read Limitless. This new Jim Kwik book is motivating, informative, and gives you the tools you need to go forward with all your superpowers intact.

The Limitless Model: A Model For Living Your Best Life

Jim Kwik has based this book around his Limitless Model.

He talked about this limitless model in his class in Mindvalley University. Here’s the diagram I had created while he was talking. I guess I was pretty much on point!

That’s the thing about Jim Kwik, he’s a great teacher! You understand what he’s saying because he can explain himself and his concepts so clearly both in written and speech format.

The book helps you dig into all of the Ms in this model. Jim Kwik talks about how to cultivate the right mindset to be limitless. Then he talks about how to get motivated to be limitless. And then he talks about the methods used to be limitless. When you put them all together, you become limitless.

When you put only two together, you get either implementation, inspiration, or ideation, but you don’t get integration (limitless). This is such an important concept to understand when it comes to making things happen.

For instance, you can believe in yourself all you want and have some motivation to do what you need to do, but if you are not implementing the right methods for success, you only have inspiration in your life and can’t make things happen.

In the book, Jim Kwik mentions a movie with Bradley Cooper called Limitless. My husband and I watched it the day I read about it. It’s about a guy who takes a pill and uplevels his brain instantly for better focus, clarity, recall, and more. Jim Kwik talks about how we don’t need a pill to do that and how we can do it by focusing on our mindset, motivation, and methods (actions).

Kwik Start Exercises

Throughout the book, Jim Kwik includes ‘Kwik Start’ Exercises. These help you implement or think about the material just taught. It’s a great way to be more interactive with the book and the lessons you learn and get a feel for what he’s talking about.

After Reading Limitless, I Can Say That ‘Methods’ Was My Weak Area

For me, I had the mindset and some motivation, but the methods were lacking. I had let myself forget things that once learned from people like Jim Kwik, and I was struggling to do things that contributed to my growth. I was actually spending more time playing a game on my phone than putting the methods Jim Kwik talks about into place.

I realize after reading Limitless that my biggest problem is distraction. I let my mind get distracted so easily that I’ve actually trained myself to be constantly distracted.

For instance, my husband and I have been watching Homeland on Netflix and I can’t remember the last time I watched it while not playing a game simultaneously on my phone. I also spend a lot of time looking up information on my phone during the show.

And, I’ve realized I do that in all areas of my life. Even while I’m writing, I will want to check the weather or Covid cases or what a YouTuber posted.

I’ve trained myself to constantly be distracted and it’s caused me to lose the ability to create and implement in the way I want to.

Jim Kwik and Limitless helped me realize how important focus is in my life and I’m working on keeping my focus on the task at hand or activity at hand. Just that realization has helped me to do better.

I watched a whole movie last night without looking at my phone!

I was lacking a bit in mindset and motivation as well. Not as much as methods. But, thanks to Jim Kwik’s Limitless, it’s really clear to me now why I haven’t doing what I know I need to do and what I need to do to start making things happen.

This Is A Jim Kwik Book I’ll Be Reading Again

I plan to go through this book again. At least once, but maybe more a couple more times.

I don’t normally do that, but the information in this book is something I need to master. I need to remember how important it is to have the right mindset, motivation, and methods in life, as well as what those things are. It’s not something I can let go lax again.

I don’t feel good when I’m doing the wrong things for my health, success, etc. I know what I want out of life thanks to Lifebook , and the tools talked about in Limitless are what I need to implement in order to act on my Lifebook and have the life I want.

I don’t know if you know how painful it is to know what you want and what you need to do and not do it.

For me, I can’t count the number of nights I’ve gone to bed and felt like I had wasted another day.

I blamed it on overwhelm and lack of energy, but the truth is I had just fallen into some poor habits again. Jim Kwik’s book, Limitless, helped me see that very clearly.

Limitless Teaches The Insights And Habits Needed To Have A Better Life

You can see how Limitless is broken up with the following flow chart that’s included at the start of the book. Each section is packed full of stories, insights, and exercises to help you uplevel your brain and your life.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be better. It’s uplifting and motivating, and it teaches you the path to go forward into a better future.

I’ve heard a lot of people are having a hard time getting this book. I ordered it as soon as I wanted it and had it delivered in a few days, so hopefully you will have the same experience.

You can check out Limitless on Amazon here .

Limitless Summary

1-Sentence-Summary: Limitless shows you how to unlock the full potential that your brain has for memory, reading, learning, and much more by showing you how to take the brakes off of your mental powers with tools like mindset, visualization, music, and more.

Favorite quote from the author:

Table of Contents

Video Summary

Limitless review, audio summary, who would i recommend the limitless summary to.

Learning isn’t easy. From the time you’re a child you’re told to sit down, be quiet, and do what the adults tell you. It gets even worse when you have to deal with the social pressures of school, especially if you get bullied. 

This was the case for Jim Kwik , whose traumatic brain injury gave him a learning disability that made classwork incredibly difficult for him. Even a teacher once called him “the boy with the broken brain.”

Kwik’s assumption that he always had to work hard to learn kept him back. It remained this way until he realized that he needed to work smarter to accelerate his mental capacities. 

He began trying all kinds of mental hacks to improve his abilities to focus, remember, and retain information. It all worked, and he became a genius.

Just like Kwik, you might be held back from your full potential by a few simple limiting beliefs. Don’t fear though because he’ll show you how to break through these barriers and take advantage of all of his best brain-boosting techniques in his book Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life .

These are the 3 most memorable lessons I got out of this book:

• Use the power of music, smell, and the Pomodoro technique to study efficiently.
• You can expand your memory instantly by using visualization.
• If you read more than other people, you will become more successful, so get better at it!

Let’s get right into it and learn how to expand our minds and get smarter!

If you want to save this summary for later, download the free PDF and read it whenever you want.

Lesson 1: If you want to improve your focus while studying, utilize music, smell, and the Pomodoro technique.

Limitless is also the title of a movie starting Bradly Cooper where the main character finds a pill that lets him make full use of his mental abilities. The drug, called NZT-48, takes him from a struggling author to a millionaire who’s on track to become the US President.

While this pill sounds like an exciting opportunity if it were real, it’s only science fiction. However, there are actual things you can do to enhance your brainpower right now. 

Let’s start with music . A lot of research shows that you can learn faster and improve your mood with the right music. I love movie soundtracks to help me concentrate. The author suggests Baroque music that’s between 50-80 beats per minute.

Smell is another way to hack your brainpower for your benefit. Try putting the same essential oil on your wrist when you study and when you go in for an exam and you’ll remember what you studied better. 

Another favorite of Kwik’s many brain hacking tools is the Pomodoro technique . To utilize it, set a timer for 25 minutes and work without distractions the entire time. When the timer is up, take a break for five minutes. Repeat as many times as necessary until you’re done studying.

Also, try active recall with your Pomodoro’s. This means closing your book or other study materials regularly and reviewing everything you’ve learned to make it sink in.

Lesson 2: Visualization can help you instantly expand your concentration and memory.

Scientists have only recently discovered neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to change over time. That means you can mold all parts of your brain to do and be whatever you want!

Take your ability to concentrate, for instance. How would your life change if you could focus on anything you wanted for as long as you wanted? You’d probably work a lot harder and make more money, for one thing. 

Although it might seem like a fantasy, you can achieve this by using visualization techniques. Imagine, for instance, that whatever you want to focus on is a glowing ball of light. Anytime your attention drifts, bring it back to the ball.

Memory is another part of your brain you can improve with training and visualization. Say you want to remember a set of words. Make up a story that connects all of them together and tell it to yourself when it’s time to recall them. 

The loci technique is another way to expand your memorization skills. This involves taking a place or room you know well and attaching parts of whatever you’re memorizing to objects in that place. Then, you mentally walk through the room to remember each point.

If you need to memorize an important speech, for example, you might pick your bedroom. You could then use your lamp to remember your intro, a nightstand to remember that story you wanted to share, and so on.

Lesson 3: Get better at reading and do it more often and you’ll become more successful!

It’s sad that people have thrown their reading skills out in exchange for time on social media. It’s worse that science proves that people who read are more successful. Their jobs pay more and they have better opportunities.

Do you want to be successful? Make more money? Have more chances to win? Then read. 

The way your brain benefits from reading is clear, and this is the central reason why this practice leads to success. It boosts your focus and memory, and activates many mental functions at the same time.

The trouble is, you might not enjoy reading simply because you can’t do it well. That’s because most people never learn how to get better at it after about fifth grade. You’re probably no better at it than the average 11-year-old!

Get better at reading by making time for it, to begin. Also, stop subvocalizing, or pronouncing each word on the page in your head. Doing this limits you to reading and learning only as fast as you can speak. 

Instead, count as you go down the page or use your finger to keep your mind going. It might be hard at first, but with practice, you’ll improve. And soon you’ll be reaping the many rewards of reading!

I’ve seen Jim Kwik in a few YouTube videos and the guy has always impressed me. I’m really happy that he’s written Limitless to summarize all the nuggets of wisdom that are in his brilliant mind! I love that this is real life evidence that a growth mindset works.

Listen to the audio of this summary with a free reading.fm account*:

The 25-year-old who gets discouraged thinking they’re stuck at their current intelligence level, the 62-year-old who loves learning new things and wants to get better at it, and anyone that wants to find ways to efficiently master skills like reading and focus.
