The story that you are a slow learner might be the only thing holding your brain back.

Jim Kwik, who has spent two decades teaching people how to learn and remember, told Lewis about the head injury that left him feeling broken as a kid. It took him two extra years to learn to read, and by college he was ready to quit.

Then he pushed so hard he passed out in the library and woke up in the hospital two days later, down to 117 pounds.

A nurse handed him tea in an Einstein mug: the same level of thinking that created the problem won’t solve the problem. Jim stopped asking why he was slow and started asking how to learn faster. Within 60 days, it felt like a light switch went on.
