Presented by Spartan Training®

As a kid, Jim Kwik was the “kid with the broken brain.” But through curiosity and sheer will, he learned how to hack his own brain. Today, he is recognized as one of the top brain trainers in the world.

“I had three traumatic brain injuries before the age of 12," he says. "I had very poor focus. I was put in special classes, and it took me three years longer to learn how to read. My teachers would have been surprised if I read a book, much less wrote a book.”
