‘There is no such thing as a good memory or a bad memory.
There's only a trained memory and an untrained memory.’
—Jim Kwik
The brain acts like a muscle: If you don’t use it, you lose it. But the rote memorization most of us were taught is not the best way to learn and remember information for the long term.
So, what can we do to unlimit our memories? And how does having a trained memory serve us as dental professionals?
On this episode of Dentist Brian Candy, I discuss chapter 13 of Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster and Unlock Your Exceptional Life, sharing Jim Kwik’s strategies for making presentations without notes and remembering names.
I also cover an article from the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery around online reviews, exploring why Yelp and Healthgrades ratings don’t necessarily correlate with clinical quality and what you can do to earn high online ratings and positive reviews.
Listen in for insight on using visualization, association and emotion to improve your memory and train your brain to retain important information—and make your memory limitless!
