The "Boy With A Broken Brain" was a phrase once used to describe one of the foremost experts on learning and brain development today. Jim Kwik grew up with a learning disability when young, but has shown through his life precisely how a growth mindset can benefit you to achieve massive success today.

Here, I want present you with precisely how and why a growth mindset can be hugely beneficial in your life, using the example of Jim Kwik and some of the ideas he talks about to help in your learning.

Often mindsets are categorised as either being fixed or growth, with fixed generally being one which holds the belief that qualities and traits are fixed and therefore cannot change. In truth I've been guilty of this myself at times as I don't think I'm capable of something purely based on past experiences or doubts about myself.

A growth mindset on the other hand, is one where you believe that through dedication and work you can improve your most basic traits and abilties, even holding the belief you can become more intelligent.

In a growth mindset the key component is that someone's perspective on failure is shifted, because they no longer see failure as an endpoint, but rather as part of the process to reaching their eventual goal. Dr Carol Dweck of Stanford University and one of the foremost experts on having a growth mindset says that kids taught to learn with a growth mindset have been taught to focus primarily on the process of reaching their desired outcome rather than the outcome itself, often with teachers encouraging children more when they've had to go through the process to achieve a result than achieving that result immediately.

The whole point here is that it's been found that when people are encouraged that they can do more than they might believe, they have shown they will commit to putting the extra time and effort needed to eventually reach their goal.

The general principles come from the idea of neuroplasticity, or the principle idea of brain growth. Think of the brain like a muscle, in order to grow a muscle we need to work it, and the same is true of the brain.

As we're challenged, what happens is we build neuronal connections in the brain, helping us to think faster and more efficiently, as well as grow skills and build habits. Therefore, through this process of working the brain you see neuroplasticity take effect and you effectively become smarter.

So, going back to Jim Kwik, what process can we learn from him to help us develop and use our growth mindset?

Well, let's look at the FAST method...

Forget

To confirm, forget doesn't specifically mean to try and forget something you've learned on a particular subject, but rather to forget any preconceptions you might have on that subject.

Active

The next letter in the FAST model is A to be Active in our learning, which might be as simple as taking notes or asking questions, and if possible when learning a skill, actively practicing that skill.

State

Those who follow Tony Robbins will know this, but your state will often determine how well you do something, and the more you can control your state and identify positive emotions with the learning process, the more likely you'll be to commit what you learn to your long term memory.

Teach

Richard Feynman taught that the final process of learning something new is to transmit it to others and the FAST method is the same, as if you actively learn something that you know you need to teach to someone else you're more likely to pay attention.
