The Secret to Using Your Whole Brain wit...

Jim Kwik, Your Brain Coach, Founder www.KwikLearning.com
About this episode

You probably heard me say, "when you know how your brain works, then you can work your brain."

You have an incredible gift between your ears, but it doesn't come with an owner's manual. Knowing how to use your whole brain isn't something you're taught or necessarily know how to do in school or anywhere. 

That's why I'm very excited to have Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor on the show today. If her name sounds familiar, it's likely because you watched her TEDtalk or read her memoir, My Stroke of Insight, which we've included on our recommended book list for many years now. 

Today we're going to discuss her newest book, Whole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Lives. This book is a myth-buster in so many ways. 

Listen in as Dr. Jill discusses the myths of the brain and goes into the mechanics of getting your brain to work for you. If you've ever wondered what the secret for making good choices in your life is so that you can live the life you deserve and desire, this episode is for you.
