1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast. George Nori with you, 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 2: Jim Quick with us. His book is called Limitless, the 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: Expanded Edition. Tell me about the title, Jim Limitless. 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so Limitless is an owner's manual for our brain. 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 3: You know, our brain. You know, we're talking about space. 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 3: This is the space I'm talking about is between our years. 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 3: You know, we upgrade, you know, think about technology and 9 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 3: you know, we have autonomous electric cars and spaceships that 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 3: are going to Mars or to vehicle choice. Often when 11 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: it comes to learning is like a horse and buggy, 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 3: a horse and carriage. So Limitless, upgrade your brain, learning 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 3: thing faster. Our Lucker Exceptional Life. The expand Edition is 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 3: really it's not about being perfect. It's about advancing and 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: progressing beyond what you currently believe is possible. Can we 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 3: discovered more about the human brain more in the past 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: twenty years and the previous two thousand years combined, and 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 3: we found as we're grossy underestimating our own capabilities, regardless 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 3: of your age, your background, your career, educational level, financial situation, 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: gender history, IQ you know it's so much more potential inside. 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: It's just we're not shown how to be able to 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 3: access it. And that's that's why, that's why I wrote 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 3: this book. 24 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 2: You talk about the seven lies of learning, Tell me 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: about that, then we'll get into these seven. 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: Sure, So a big part of what holds us back 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 3: is our mindset, you know, the set of assumptions and 28 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: attitudes about something. So you can someone learn a great 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: method on let's say, making money, but if their mindset is, 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 3: you know, I don't deserve it, or I have to 31 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: hurt people in order to be able to you know, 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 3: access that, then you're probably still going to be stuck, 33 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 3: you know, in that area. So all behavior is belief driven. 34 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: And so for me, a lie and for a limited 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: idea entertained, it's not true. It's just something we're giving 36 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: energy to. So, you know, to be able to unlimit yourself, 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: you have to address these line like So, for example, 38 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 3: one of them is intelligence is fixed. Right, It's one 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 3: of those things where people believe that somehow your potential 40 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: is fixed or your memory is fixed, like your shoe size, 41 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 3: and that's absolutely not true. But the problem is if 42 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: you believe it's true, you know, if you believe you 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: can or can't either way, You're right, right, Henry Ford 44 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 3: said that. But the truth is it's not how smart 45 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: you are, it's how are you smart? There are multiple 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: types of intelligence. Howard Gardner, you know, talked about this, 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 3: you know, researches at Harvard University. So like so many things, 48 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: intelligence is a combination of attitudes and actions, and it's 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: really dependent on contexts. You know. A better belief is 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: that intelligence is fluid. You know, I talk about in 51 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: my work, we created a brain quiz at hundreds of 52 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: thousands of people have gone through that talks about four 53 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: different brain types, and I use it. I modeled it 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: after elephant like els, and some dolphins and owls and cheetahs. 55 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 3: It's just an illustration that, you know, we are smarter 56 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: than we think. Another another lie that some people believe 57 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: is that we only use ten percent of our brains. 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: And I hear that a lot. 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something that we've all heard this myth. You know, 60 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 3: some of us heard it the first time in the classroom, 61 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: some of us sort of from maybe a friend, some 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: sort of through media, maybe documentary and TV show. And 63 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: it's not true. In actuality, we use one hundred percent 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 3: of our brain, just like we use one hundred percent 65 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: of our body. Right, It's just some people use it differently, 66 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: you know, more effectively or more efficiently than others. So 67 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: the more the truth is, you know, is that you 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: have all the power of your brain. It's available to you, 69 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: and it's available to you now you know the utopia 70 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: that each of us, you know, in these movies and 71 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: television shows that depicts, it's already possible, you know, for us. 72 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: And while we use all our brains, some people use 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: their brain better than others, just says, you know, most 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: people one hundred percent of their body. You know, there 75 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: are somebodies that are faster, that are stronger, that are 76 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: more flexible, that are more energized than others. And the 77 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: key is to learn how to use your brain effectively efficiency, 78 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: you know, as possible as you can, right, And that 79 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: that's why I wrote the book. A new belief could 80 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: be instead of you know that you use ten percent, 81 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: is that I am learning how to use my whole 82 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: brain in the best ways possible. You know. Another lie 83 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 3: is mistakes are failures. You know. That's that's something I 84 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: think a lot of people unconsciously believe and you know, 85 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: it's my belief that that could hold you back because 86 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: you're not going to do things if you're scared of, 87 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: you know, making mistakes. I think we make mistakes. The 88 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: mistakes don't have to make us, you know, the mistakes, 89 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: you know, that's just nos. So there's no failure, there's 90 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: only failure to learn something. 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: As long as you learn from your mistakes, it's it's 92 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: worth it's worthwhile to try. 93 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that, George. Just a lot of people think, 94 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: you know, failure is the opposite of success, you know, 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: and I think failure is part of success, right, you know, 96 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: and so like I feel like failure like getting the feedback, 97 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: feedback is the breakfast of champions, so you know, you know, 98 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 3: and it's it's interesting the children, Like we have a 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: newborn nine months and you know, he's like learning how 100 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: to crawl and help propping himself up. And you know, 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: if people fall, like children fall, they'll fall hundreds of 102 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: times and they always get back up. But sometimes as 103 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: adults where you know, we could try something, we'd take 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: a salsa class or a coding glass something, and we 105 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: don't do well at it the first time, which you 106 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 3: know is normal and we just stopped right because we 107 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: don't want to look look bad. And so I think 108 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: there's no such thing as failure, is only failure to 109 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: learn something. 110 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: You know. 111 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: In another lie that I think is pervasive in the 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: performance space or self improvement space is that knowledge is power. 113 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: Like we've all heard the phrase knowledge is power, and 114 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: I don't think it's really accurate. I think knowledge has 115 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: the potential to be power. It only comes power when 116 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 3: you utilize it. So many people know stuff, but they're not, 117 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 3: you know, use utilizing that information. So I think knowledge 118 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: times action is power. And so you know, these kind 119 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 3: of lies, it's nice to make it more conscious as 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 3: opposed to unconscious, because in order to change anything, you 121 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 3: need a level of self awareness, right, you need to 122 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: be able. You can't change something unless you know that 123 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 3: it needs to be changed and you recognize that. So 124 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: in the book we talk about some of the lives 125 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: of learning and then how to be able to reframe them, 126 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: and you know, to take care of your mindset. You know, 127 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: I believe your brain is this incredible supercomputer and your 128 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: self talk is a program and that will run. So 129 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: you tell yourself, I'm not good at I don't know 130 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 3: we're remembering people's names, you will not remember the name, 131 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: and the next person you meet program your supercomputer not 132 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: to people. Exactly. If people truly understand stood Georgia, like 133 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: how powerful their mind is, they probably wouldn't say or 134 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: think something they didn't want to be true. And that's 135 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: not to say that you have one negative thought and 136 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: ruins your life anymore than eating that donut ruin your life. 137 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: But if you hate that doughnut dozens of times in 138 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: a day, every single day, you know there will be 139 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: an effect. And so I just want to remind people 140 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: that your thoughts, your thoughts matter, and you don't have 141 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: to believe everything that you think. 142 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: Line number five is learning new things is very difficult. 143 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think some people stop. You know, the two 144 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: challenges is where people where we see and we have 145 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: students in every country in the world in our online 146 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: you know Accelebrated Learning Academy first Futerating Memory IM programs. 147 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: We see the biggest decline usually when people in their 148 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 3: covenant performance. When people graduate school, but somehow they associate that, 149 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: you know, their education is done so as their learning right, 150 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: they've learned everything that they need to learn. And then 151 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: when people retire, because often when people retire, they stop 152 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: using their brain, you know, actively, and unfortunately their bodies 153 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 3: usually aren't that far behind. So instead of believing that, 154 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: you know, learning new things is difficult, it can be. 155 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 3: Certainly sometimes it's hard to learn new things, but that's 156 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 3: where you grow. Right when you're listing, if somebody's exercising, 157 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: it's the it's the novelty and the demand you have 158 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: on your muscles that force it to adapt. And same 159 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: thing with learning. You know, sometimes it is hard to 160 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: learn new things, but what's more accurate is to understand 161 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 3: that learning is a set of methods. It's a process, 162 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 3: and you can certainly do it easier once you know 163 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: how to learn right. My book Limitless They Expanded is 164 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: all about metal learning. Meta learning is the science and 165 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 3: the art of learning how to learn. When you learn 166 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: new ways on how to learn the challenge of learning 167 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: new things, it actually could be fun. You actually get 168 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: easier and it's certainly more enjoyable. Line number six is 169 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: one talking about criticism, that the criticism of other people, 170 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 3: you know, matters, because people over index how important other 171 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: people's opinions are, you know. And I spent a lot 172 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 3: of time at senior centers, maybe because I lost my 173 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: grandparents at an early age and I help them to 174 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: improve their memory, polish off their memory. And I also 175 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 3: hear some amaze so much, so many nuggets of wisdom 176 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: and insights. I also hear a lot of regret, you know, 177 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 3: And I just want to remind listeners that when we're 178 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: taking our final breaths, you know, in those moments, none 179 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: of them people's opinions or their expectations will have matter 180 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: to us. Well, what will mattered is you know, what 181 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 3: was most important. You know, maybe how you laughed and 182 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: how you learned, and how you loved and how you lived. 183 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: You know, I really think and you just to frame 184 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 3: it in a different way, you know, I don't think 185 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: we should take criticism from people. We wouldn't take advice 186 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: from you know, maybe that could help reframe it for people. 187 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 3: You know. The new belief is something like, it's not 188 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 3: your job to like, love or respect me. It's mine, right, 189 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 3: And so, you know, I feel like a lot of 190 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: people are limited, They limit themselves because they're afraid of 191 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: what people will think, you know. So I just like 192 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 3: to put some healthy dose of perspective there. And then 193 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 3: the seventh lie is that This is something I think 194 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 3: a lot of people buy into, is that genius is born. 195 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: You know, you're either born with you know, genius, or 196 00:10:59,200 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: you're not. 197 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 4: Just developed, isn't it. 198 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really think that genius is built, you know, 199 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: more and more than anything that genius leaves clues and 200 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: there's always a method behind what looks like magic. And 201 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: that's been the nature of my work. When I perform 202 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 3: in front of audiences, and I could be in front 203 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: of a quarter million people totally in a year. You know, 204 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: I travel a lot. I could be in three continents 205 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 3: in a week, and if there's time, I'll be these 206 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 3: demonstrations where I'll have like one hundred people stand up 207 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: in an audience and pass around a microphone and introduce 208 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 3: themselves and I will recite all of their names from 209 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: memory that I do that, yeah, or an audience. You know, 210 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 3: I just got out of a program at Google. I'm 211 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 3: here in northern California right now, traveling on tour, and 212 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: you know, and I'll have they'll challenge me. They'll may 213 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: be fifty or one hundred digit number and I would 214 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 3: call them forwards and backwards or one hundred random words. 215 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: But I always tell people I don't do this to 216 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: impress you. I do this express to you what's possible, 217 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: because the truth is, again, we could all do this, 218 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: we just weren't taught. You know, there was no class 219 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: called memory. You know, they teach you three rs in 220 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: school reading, writing, arithmetics. But what about retention? Right Socrates? 221 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: Learning is remembering? And so you know, I feel like 222 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 3: if you go to somebody and say, hey, play the ukulele, 223 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: you know that'd be ludicrous if people have never taken 224 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: a class well, going to somebody like a child or 225 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 3: one of your coworkers and saying focus study, they've never 226 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 3: taken classes on that. So I truly believe that genius 227 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: is not so much born, but it's built. It's made 228 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 3: through deep, deep practice like anything else. 229 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: And what about the possibility of brain foods? What are 230 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: some of the best. 231 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 3: You know, I think the whole area of science. I 232 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: do a whole chapter on the best foods you could 233 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: eat for your brain health. 234 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: You like guacamole, don't you? 235 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 3: I really do avocados, A monoon saturated fat is good 236 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 3: for the brain. This is a whole area of signs 237 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: called neuro nutrition. Some of my favorite ones I don't 238 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: give you everyone a memory eight on how to do this, 239 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 3: so we can make such. It's a little memory masterclass. 240 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,599 Speaker 3: So some of my favorites that are researched to be 241 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: neuroprotective Avocados, blueberries I have to call the brain berries. 242 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: You know, the antoxins are very good for your brain. Broccoli, 243 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: the sulfur fame in there is is very good for 244 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 3: your brain. Number number fourth one is olive oil. You know, 245 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 3: we hear a lot about mediterrane diet. It's very narrow 246 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: protective if your diet allows. Eggs are like nature's multi vitamin. 247 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 3: The coalen and eggs is very good for cognitive health 248 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: and performance. Green leafy vegetables like kalen spinach is good 249 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 3: for the brain. Your brain is mostly fat, so that's 250 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: where you get the omega three's or the dhas like 251 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: from fish. You always hear about eating uh, you know, 252 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: wild salmon or sardines, those are definitely brain foods. I 253 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: would add turmeric their curtains. 254 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: I take that every day every day, So good for. 255 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 3: You, George. It's it's anti inflammatory. Some people will take 256 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: the turmeric and mix it with some almond milk and 257 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of pepper and just make like 258 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: a like a like some kind of golden milk for themselves. 259 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: Walnuts are very good for the brain, high inviting and 260 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 3: eating or protective walnuts. Interesting, they look like a human brain. 261 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 4: They do. 262 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: You're you're right, Yeah, it's something like a little memory aid. 263 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 3: Like it's interesting. Certain foods support the organ that they 264 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: look like. If you cut a tomato in half, it 265 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: has four chambers, and tomatoes are good for the heart, 266 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: right if you and these are kind of not based. 267 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 3: These are more memory, uh, you know, kind of associations. 268 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: If you kind of carrot and it looks like the 269 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: human eye, and they say carrots are good for the eye, 270 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 3: and on so on. And then finally the tenth one 271 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 3: is dark chocolate, not milk, chocolate, not high sugar, but 272 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 3: dark chocolate is very good for the brain also as well. 273 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: What's good for your mood is generally good for your minds. 274 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 3: So you know, these are ten foods and you could 275 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: take a bunch of them even thrown into a blender 276 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 3: and make a brain power smoothie. You know, the avocados, 277 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 3: the green leavy vegetables, you know, chocolate powder, maybe you 278 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: know some berries. I probably wouldn't put. 279 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 4: The fish in there, not in the berries. 280 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, what you eat matters, especially for 281 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: your brain matter. 282 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: Before we had the internet going Jim, I had a 283 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: friend of mine who had a poor memory, and she 284 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: saw a television commercial for a kit which would improve 285 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: your memory, except she forgot the toll free number. 286 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 287 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: I believe too. The most coffee words sometimes in life 288 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 3: or in our work, or I forgot. If you think 289 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 3: about the consequences and saying I forgot to do it, 290 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 3: I forgot to bring it, I've got what I'm going 291 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: to say, I forgot what they said, I forgot to 292 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 3: go to that meeting, I forgot that person's name. I mean, 293 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 3: just goes on and on. Every time we have those lapses, 294 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: we could lose time, we could you know, compromise of relationship. 295 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: But on the other side, memory can make you can 296 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: make you the money, certainly because the faster you can learn, 297 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 3: the faster you can earn. Because knowledge is the only power. 298 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: Knowledge is profit Today most people listening, it's not like 299 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: what's hundreds of years ago agricultural age or what work 300 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 3: on assembly lines, where it's more boot strength. Today it's 301 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 3: brain strength, right, It's not your muscle power. It's say 302 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: it's online power. And again, the faster you can learn, 303 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 3: the fast you can earn. If you can remember client 304 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: information or product information, can a speech without notes, learn 305 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: another language, improve your your vocabulary, remember what you read. 306 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: I mean, all of these are real assets. And again 307 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: it's everybody, regardless of your age and stage of life, 308 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 3: can do it. They just need a guidebook. Right, and 309 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 3: your brain is Your brain is amazing, right. You know, 310 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: it only weighs about three pounds, but it is the 311 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 3: most intricate and one of the most extraordinary things in 312 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 3: the entire universe. 313 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 314 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: one a m.
