Learning How to Learn: Improving the Performance of Learning
Learning is a skill and it can be improved. Everyone has the opportunity to develop their memory and
learning ability. Identifying your own learning style and the methods that work for you is key. The more
you use your brain the better it will work.
Learning something new always takes commitment and self discipline as well as conscious practice. Your
conception of what learning is and your motivation to study will determine your success. You have to want to solve a problem even if it is demanding. No learning methods or techniques will help if the motivation to study is missing. Obstacles to learning usually have to do with one's attitudes and con-ception of oneself as a learner and one's conception of learning, all of which have themselves been
learnt.
You have to clarify for yourself why studying is worthwhile and what are you aiming for in your
studies. Learning only happens as a direct result of your own efforts.

Jim was once known as the “boy with the broken brain.”
A childhood head injury at age five left him struggling in school. For a while, he even believed he could never be as good as other kids when it came to learning.
Jim loved superheroes as a kid – and comic books saved him when conventional education couldn’t. Comic books taught Jim how to read…and they also kept his dreams alive that one day he, too, would find his inner superpower.
As the years wore on, fate led Jim to a mentor, a friend’s father, who sent him on a journey to learn about his brain and learn how to use it. Little did Jim know, it would take him down the long path of discovering different learning habits, including accelerated learning systems and tactics.
Jim discovered that, no matter the circumstances, we can rebuild our brains. And after working on himself, he realized his brain was not broken…it just needed a better owner’s manual. This shattered Jim’s own limiting beliefs – and over time, it became his passion to help others do the same.
For the past three decades, Jim taught his learning techniques to students from universities such as Harvard, CalTech, and Singularity University. As well as executives and employees from companies such as Google, Virgin, Nike, Zappos, GE, 20th Century Fox, Cleveland Clinic, WordPress, and institutions like the United Nations to get the most out of work and life
