8 Step Mental Fitness Routine with Jim Kwik

My name is Jim Kwik, the founder of Kwik Brain Universe, author of the best-selling book LIMITLESS and host of the #1 brain performance podcast, Kwik Brain. I am a world leading expert in speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance, and accelerated learning. After a childhood brain injury left me learning-challenged, I made it my life’s mission to create strategies to dramatically enhance mental performance. Once I was able to turn my own learning challenges around, I dedicated my life to helping people like you unleash your true genius and brainpower to learn anything faster and live a life of greater power, productivity, and purpose.

On this special World Mental Health Day episode, Jim challenges the traditional view of mental health by reframing it as mental fitness. 

Mental health isn’t just the absence of illness—it’s the presence of strength, resilience, and clarity. Jim shares eight science-backed, actionable tools designed to help you train your brain the same way you would train your body. 

Jim also explores the importance of somatic tools like breathwork and movement, the surprising impact of social connection on longevity, and how mood-tracking technology and AI-based apps can support daily self-awareness. 

You’ll walk away with practical steps to help you feel more focused, grounded, and motivated.
