In this episode of the Align podcast, coach Jim Kwik talks to us about ways we can incorporate brain training into our daily lives. We slide into the world of cognitive types, or what Jim refers to as “brain animals” - a model that helps us understand how different people think, learn, and lead. We also cover his book, ‘Limitless’, the significance of personalized learning versus traditional school systems, and the role nootropics can play in brain health. Finally, we round off the episode with a discussion on healthy routines to adopt, in order to increase mindfulness.
