About this ebook
Does you or your child have difficulty learning? Would you like to improve your memory, increase your focus, eliminate distractions, and stop procrastinating?
All these things are highly realistic goals and expectations that this book can help you reach.
Have you ever heard the rumor that people only use 10% of their brains, and wondered how true that really is? You probably have. And there is some truth to it, but it's not entirely true because humans use much MORE than 10% of their brains. The statement should say that the average person only uses 10% of their brain's potential capabilities, which is absolutely true. 10% even seems like a stretch, I think it's lower than that. That doesn't speak to the lack of intelligence of humans, more so the incredible potential and capabilities of the human brain.
The capacity of the human brain is limitless and unfathomable, and what a lot of people don't realize is that the brain is like any other muscle in the body in the way that it can be trained and worked to grow, improve, and become immensely superior than it was. But the difference is that muscles have a maximum genetic potential that they can reach, while the brain does not. Every single human has a brain that has the ability to be "genius", but many are not because they never train their brains to grow and become smart. There are many, many things that one can do to improve their cognitive abilities and we will cover much of it in this book.
Here is just a short preview of some of the topics of discussion that are delved into in this book:
- Secret Memory Strategies & Techniques that Experts use
- Speed Reading and how to do it
- How to eat healthy for your brain
- Mnemonic Systems to Help you Remember Anything
- Learning a new language
- The Power of Mindfulness
- How to Exercise your brain to make it grow Smarter
- Mental Exercises
- Sleep's impact on your brain
- And much more!
If you struggle with learning slower than you'd like, remembering important things, staying focused, or procrastinating... Then PLEASE do yourself this favor and check out this book for yourself. You'll be glad you did!

Accelerated Learning and Unlimited Memory Techniques and Strategies - Jimmy Cooper
Introduction
...nothing worth knowing can be taught.
– Oscar Wilde
We would accomplish many things if we do not think of them as impossible.
– Vince Lombardi
All of the research and studies that has been conducted on the human brain for the past couple of decades has opened the door to interesting knowledge about this gray matter lodged in our heads. Neuroplasticity, for instance, is an exciting concept that took the world by storm.
Neuroplasticity, in layman’s terms, is the brain’s ability to form and create new neurological connections that allow the brain to adapt, change, and grow. Neuroplasticity offers limitless possibilities for humans to course its destiny. It suggests primarily that by controlling our brain, we control our own fate. Several people have testified as to how they restored their lost functions[1] by tapping into the potential of the brain to rewire itself.
One living testament to this was Barbara Arrowsmith, a young woman in the 1970s who suffered from learning disabilities. In her autobiography The Woman Who Changed Her Brain, she recounts her own dramatic transformation from being a slow and struggling learner into a normal one by doing cognitive exercises, some of which we will cover later.
She was born with a formidable memory but without the ability to retain anything for the long-term. She has a hard time following directions and gets lost even in familiar places. But with years of hardship, struggle and determination, she was able to finish a graduate’s degree.
The story of a brain-wounded Russian soldier Lev Zasetsky and the works of a psychologist Mark Rosenzweig on neuroplasticity inspired her to embark on a mission of doing the experiment on her own brain. She spent time in libraries trying to read challenging books – particularly on the subject of philosophy - which are exceptionally hard to comprehend, much more for beginners as she was. The result was an incredible success.
One of the theories in neuroscience is that continuously engaging the brain with mentally challenging tasks causes it to make new neural connections and thus change its shape and composition. In short, she was able to fix her own inborn brain glitch.
Neuroplasticity proposes that you can actually shape the brain by doing activities which help you to improve cognitive abilities. It’s like exercising the body where the brain is like the muscles, which when worked and trained, gets better. It is limitless. But unlike the brain, muscles may be stretched only up to a certain limit. The capacity of the brain is intangible.
The brain is a physical thing. But the growing knowledge about the brain which we have now is just the beginning as neuroscience is still very young. The capacity of the brain is still undetermined and the possibilities about it are endless.
Come to think of it: given the certainty that there are physical changes that happen to our brain, isn’t it exciting that by sheer will, we have the power to mold it according to what we engage it in?
In this book, we look into the latest scientific studies on the brain and lay them as the foundation for the tips and strategies suggested here for stronger memory and better learning. Please enjoy.
Chapter I.
Improving Your Memory
Your eyeglasses were missing and you frantically searched for them everywhere, only to find out that they’re just right there – perched comfortably on your head. Your phone, which was on silent mode, has disappeared, and there’s no way to let it go from your perplexed mind other than to think that it must have been stolen.
You walked into a room and you don’t have any idea why you’re there. You missed a deadline, you forgot your friend’s birthday, and you left your wallet on the bus. You studied hard for an exam the night before, and the first question was so easy but you suddenly find it hard to answer because you can’t seem to remember what you studied and you almost want to squeeze your brain out.
So what is this all about? Is it memory loss already? Or is it simply a case of inattentiveness?
Memory lapse due to absentmindedness afflicts all of us, teenager or adult, young or old, female or male, busy or not. The curse of being absentminded is that you suffer from a difficulty of trying to recollect something or a piece of information that was poorly registered in your memory. It was not quite stored in your memory because, well, you hadn’t been paying full attention in the first place.
Unlike memory loss, absentmindedness is a condition which need not be clinically diagnosed. It is simply an indication of a lack of attention or interest in something, or of the boredom that we ordinarily go through sometimes in
