Jim Kwik explains why children learn fastest: developing nervous systems, constant questions, and imagination through play. Adults who stop playing learn slower and live less vibrant lives. Reclaiming play keeps your brain sharp at any age.
Who are the fastest learners on the planet? Children. How fast can children learn things? A musical instrument or language compared to an adult, right? Because yes, part of their nervous system is still gelling and they ask lots of questions and they have imagination and they also what? What do children do all the time? They want to play. When's the last time you actually played? People say, well, I stopped playing because, you know, I'm growing older, right? But I think it's actually the opposite, that you grow older because you stop playing. It's not just about living longer, it's about living better.
