Jim Kwik trains people to read faster and retain more. He taught a woman to read 30 books in 30 days to help her mother with terminal cancer. She applied what she learned and her mother's condition improved dramatically.
So I train people to read, and this young lady read 30 books in 30 days and really absorbed it. There's always a method behind what looks like magic. Always. Whether that person's conscious of it or not, they're doing something other people aren't doing. And so you follow that recipe, get the same kind of results. I didn't want to find out how she read 30 books in 30— I know exactly how she did it because I taught her. I wanted to find out why. And I find out that her mother was dying of terminal cancer and was given 2 months to live, and the books she was reading were books on health and wellness and alternative medicine, everything, because she was determined to save her mom's life. That's a lot of drive. 6 months goes by and her mother not only survived but is really getting better. They called it a miracle, but her mother attributed 100% to the advice she got from her daughter who learned it from all these books. And that's when I realized that if knowledge is power, learning is your superpower, and it's a superpower we all have inside of us.
