“Books and books are everything for me, and then I encourage people to connect. And again, I put that link if that's okay to mention in our Instagram for the quiz, for the brain animal, mybrainanimal.com, and to our podcast and everything. But I appreciate, Steve, I'm being a big fan and follower of your work impeccable the amount of so many shows like you're on, like somebody will say something so deep and then, and I'll be so upset because the interviewer will go on, well, my next question is this. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, but you're so good at being present.”

“And I have a question for everybody because this will be my question for your next guest my normal question is what are you going to do for your brain today? And I would love to hear that also. But over the past twelve months, what is a new behavior or a belief or a habit and understanding that you've adopted that has served you this past year, a new behavior or belief that has been supportive of you, and I would love for you to post that, tag us we see it. I'll repost some of my favorites and I'll actually gift a few copies randomly for the book out to people and yeah.”

“Can I challenge everyone to do something, Steve? Please. I would love everybody knowing that knowledge by itself is not power, that this small simple step could lead to something big is to take a screenshot of wherever they're consuming this. On social media and Spotify, on iTunes, wherever, and tag you and I so we get to see it.”

“Loving this kid so much, but just observing and I don't remember the times a lot of my childhood because of what I went through, but just watching these revelations that he has hands and that he can manipulate the world. And I realized that my perspective has changed instead of me teaching him stuff, you know, I want to protect him and provide. But I feel like he's reminding me of these important core memories that I had forgotten.”

“Okay, I'll say this without giving names I committed to an event to speak out of this country, in your neck of the woods, and it's an event I really want to go to, and I put it off for years. I do regret because I'm going to be missing Father's Day here in the United States. And this boy I've learned so much from, he's only a few months old, but it's funny going into fatherhood, the three growth areas I've had in my life were entrepreneurship, and you could identify with that, right? Like when it all lies on you and we have dozens of people that rely on you for their livelihood and the impact, it's a lot of responsibility. My personal relationship, you know, where you're intimate with somebody and you're that vulnerable. But the third thing is fatherhood. And I went into this thinking, I'm going to upgrade this kid's brain and biohack the heck out of this kid. I've noticed over the past few months that I've taken a different approach. I'm just like”

“Because the methods that work today, the methods that worked 10 years ago in marketing aren't necessarily the same methods that will work for today, right? Or investing or in wellness because there's a big information upgrade. So my message for everybody is the past few years have been very frightening for a lot of people. And out of that fear, I feel like they've downgraded their dreams to meet this current situation. And I think that's the wrong approach. You shouldn't be downgrading your dreams to meet the current situation. You should be thinking, how do I upgrade my mindset? How do I upgrade my motivation? How do I upgrade the methods I'm using to be able to meet those bold audacious goals, right?”

“And then the last thing's the head there is the methods. And I put that last because a lot of people know the methods, but they are not doing it because they either have them don't have the mindset or they don't have the right motivation. Now, here's the reason why I share this, and I'll put this on my professional tombstone, is because this is the gap between what keeps people limited to limitless, meaning any area of your life, you control the controllables, right? And what you could always control is your mindset, your motivation, and the methods you're using to reach that goal. So what I would do with this is I would put like goal on top, and then you could even use this as a role modeling. I could listen to all your podcasts and discern and elicit what is their mindset, what is their beliefs and attitudes, assumptions about that topic, money, Redalio, whoever you're talking to, right? And then I would say, what's their motivation? What's the purpose? What are their small, simple steps? And then the methods that they're using.”

“They won't go do anything. So a small simple step. This is how you find it with a question. I ask myself this question every day. When I get confused or I get overwhelmed, I say, what is the tiniest action I could take right now that will give me progress towards this goal where I can't fail? What's the tiniest action I could take right now that will give me progress towards this goal where I can fail? So let's say somebody doesn't work out, right? Because this is beyond that's too big of a jump. A small, simple step, put on their running shoes. Maybe somebody leaders or readers, they're inspired now to say that they're going to read every day for an hour. That's too big. Maybe small symbol step, opening up the book, reading one line. Can't get your kids to floss their teeth. Get them to floss one tooth, right? Or put one sock in the hamper, you know, to get clean. Because nobody, remember the zygonic effect? Nobody's going to stop at one tooth. They were going to go to completion. So I believe.”

“S3 stands for small, simple steps because often what stalls us is we're intimidated or we're confused and a confused mind doesn't do anything. Even if you're marketing to somebody, give them purpose, have them energy, meaning having resources, capital, but are you making it so simple they can't fail, small, simple steps, right? Because if you make that too confusing,”

“Perfect. So, and remember, you don't have energy, you do it. So the things we talked about reducing stress, getting a good night's sleep, eating the best brain foods. Now S three somebody could have limitless purpose they know why they do it. They do the right things for the right reasons and they could have limited energy and still not be motivated because they're overwhelmed or because they're confused. Maybe that goal is too big. They want to meet their soulmate and live happily ever after. That's way too big, right? They want to make the next unicorn. That's way too big, right? On Dragon's Den, whatever.”

“So, some people aren't motivated because they're exhausted. You know, like, so the idea here is I mentioned newborn baby if you haven't slept for three nights in a row, you're not going to be very motivated to work out. Right, if you had a big processed meal in your food coma, you're not going to be very motivated to study or read that text. Okay, so like.”

“I would say there are some things in my experience that you could only learn through a storm, like some storms come to teach us things, you know, or to clear a path for us, but certainly rock bottom is an interesting perspective, we talked about the six thinking hats. Do you have a look at something? Different point of view. So the purpose, so feel the purpose. And so just like people don't biologically, they buy emotionally, get them emotional, right? But then if you don't have an emotional reason to read that book, emotional reason to remember that name, emotional reason to do that. It's emotional. No, the E, P is the purpose, which is emotion. The E is energy.”

I'm like, we've been telling you for like to do this stuff. Why are you used all of a sudden? And he was like, I came home telling me about this work trip. He came home. And his daughter was like crying hysterically. And he had a dream that he died, right? And wasn't there for him? And that was purpose, right? So that's the thing. We are not logical. We are biological. Dopamine oxytocent serotonin endorphins. We could get that through life circumstances or to focus on something that drives us.”

“The formula for limitless motivation to motivate yourself to work out, to read, to meditate, or to motivate someone to buy or your kids to clean their room. Three things P times E times S three. The letter P times the letter E times S three. And what does this mean? And now take now see yourself in that box. If you're not motivated, you're procrastinating. The P is purpose. Start with Y, as Simon talks about. But if you don't feel it, like I had, I saw somebody on this street the other day, and he was, I didn't even recognize him. Because when I knew him years ago, he was so unhealthy. I mean, like the worst extreme, and all friends would do intervention, say, give him suggestions. He would ignore all of it. He would take pride in being unhealthy, right?”

“Right. Now, Mickey's right ear is going to be the second M, which is motivation Huge because you could have a limitless mindset about money, about change, about your health, your memory, and you're not motivated to get out of that box so you're not getting out of that box. So motivation, people talk about it like a warm bath. For me, motivation is very structured. It's only three factors that you have to unlimit.”

“What I believe is possible. So you could believe it's possible for Steve Abb like millions of followers and make all this money or whatever, but you might not believe it's possible for you. So what I believe is possible, what I believe I'm capable of. Those could be different. And the third thing is what I believe I deserve. Like people don't feel like they deserve to have this body or this business or they have imposter syndrome or they don't think they deserve to be happy in a relationship. That's going to affect all behaviors belief driven, right? In order to get a result, new result, you have to do a new behavior. In order to do that new behavior, you need a belief that allows that to be possible. So that's mindset.”

“Yeah, exactly, and that's going to continue in that box, right? Because it's defining the borders and boundaries of what's possible. So if somebody could also whose finances, their mindset, Assumptions and attitudes about money. If people think money is the root of all evil or money doesn't grow on trees, whatever their mindset is, it could contain them in that box. If their memory, if they feel like they're limited in a box, you know, it could be, I'm getting too old. I'm not smart enough, right? That's mindset. Attitudes and assumptions about something, especially attitudes, assumptions besides your attitude assumption about a relationship. What does that mean? It means I lost my freedom. Does it mean whatever it means? That's going to affect your quality of box. But the other part of it is your mindset and attitudes, assumptions about yourself. So three things I would put in mindset.”

“So three intersecting circles. Most people know this as a Venn diagram. It kind of looks like Mickey Mouse, two ears, and a head. And so these are the three forces that will liberate you to help you become limitless in any area of your life. And this works for a person, a family, a team, a nation, a world. Okay, so it could be a micro macro. And this is how real transformation happens. So here's the thing. You're taking something specific, maybe your income or your reading speed or your memory. Let's say your memory, you feel like you're in a box, you can't get out of it, right? The first circle, the top left, I'm going to give you three M's, is your mindset. All right. So your first circle is your mindset and your mindset I am going to define as your set of assumptions and attitudes you have about something. Your attitudes, assumptions about being on.”

“I would teach on my professional tombstone is the limitless model. It's a Venn diagram, three intersecting circles. And I want everyone to imagine an area of your life where you feel stuck in a box. Your income, your impact, your learning, your finance, whatever it happens to be, your relationships, where do you feel like you're not making progress? And by definition, that box, it's a cube, right? And that cube is three-dimensional, right? So the three forces that contain that box that's keeping you in there, it's the same three forces that will liberate you out. Now, the three forces that I'm talking about are the limitless model. And if you're watching this on video, I'm going to make three intersecting circles on a pad of paper.”

“Ask the other questions, right? It's why you eat, it's where you eat, it's when you eat, it's how you eat also as well. Some people are so stressed out about their diet, you know, measuring every micronutrient and everything and so stressed out about some ideology that it negates any health benefit they're getting from it because they have so much anxiety around eating, right? But it's also not only why you eat, but how you eat. Some people as they're eating, they're working at the same time. And you've heard about the sympathetic, parasympathetic, right, in terms of our nervous system, the sympathetic is kind of like your beta, your fight or flight, but your sympathetic is rest and digest. But some people, when they're working, they're not even that parasympathetic place where they could rest and digest their food because they're also while they're doing this, they're working and stressed out or on conversations or anything. So, you know, going back to this, I want everyone just to imagine an area of their life.”

“Well, the thing when I teach meditation or I do mindfulness, it's not just about that 20 minutes you're in silence externally and internally whatever's going on. You could bring mindfulness into your eating. You know, I show people just challenge them to brush your teeth with the opposite hand. Maybe he engages a different part of your brain, right? The opposite side, but it forces people to be present, you know, and I think flexing that presence muscles and that mindfulness muscles first thing in the morning is just very important, especially when you could tag it”

“Professional tombstone would be a Venn diagram with three things, and this is the core of my work. I realized you that a lot of people know what to do, but they don't do what they know. That most people have forgotten more about personal development and growth and transformation and money and wellness, whatever they're hearing than most people that they know, because common sense is not common practice. How do you get yourself to overcome self-sabotage, procrastination, and actually get something done? And so I could I would end with this. Limitless and not up on being perfect, it's about progress. But in what area of your life if you're still listening to this, do you feel like you're stuck? That you're not making progress? You don't have to share this, but I know you're very vulnerable. But is there an area of your life you feel like you're in a box? And it could be your learning. You might be feel like you're...”

So it's sharpening the saw to be able to, you do that first and all the other everything after that cutting, it's a lead domino, right?

I would say the thing that I would want on my treatise.”

I want to understand money or invest in whatever it is. The equivalent asking for limitless wishes is learning what? Learning how to learn.

If there was a genie right now could grant you anyone wish, but only one wish, everyone who's watching, listening would ask for more wishes, right?

And she called it the zygarnic effect after her last name that our ability when we start something, there's a high propensity for us to want to finish it, right? To have closure, to close that loop. You know, that's how people keep people coming back to every Netflix show or whatever because there's an open loop, right? Some kind of suspense that they want to get closure on. So you have to behave and follow through. The zygonic effect, if you start somewhere, anywhere because you procrastinate. You're more likely to finish that activity because it's an open loop.

People, your family knows that not to be bothered, right? And then you're engaging somewhere somewhere. Meaning there's something called a zygonic effect I talk about in the book.

“capable of handling if the capability is too high, you're highly skilled and the challenge is too low, then you're bored, right? You're too skilled and this challenge is not even a challenge. So you're not getting enough flow state. Flow happens when you're at the edge where it's just challenging enough to keep you engaged and it's stretching you also as well. So it's a state of mind that you could create. And what I would recommend doing it with everything is a small simple step, right? And when you're in flow, the world kind of disappears. So you have this natural focus. Is there anything that you have an activity like writing where you lose sense of time and it's kind of effortless so people could create that in their job and their relationship on the field also as well?

You don't know if five minutes went by or five hours because you're in the moment, you're present. So you could actually, here's, you like first principles. One of my first principles is taking nouns and turning them into verbs. I get in the habit every day of hearing a noun and turn it into a verb, meaning I think a lot of people hypnotize themselves by the words that they use. They say, I don't have motivation today. I don't have focus today. I don't have anything.”

The art and science of getting in the zone, right? Flow is a state where you feel your best and you perform your best. Those flow states. The markers of it are usually three things. Number one, you lose your sense of self.”

“You can only read as fast as you could speak. That means your reading speed is limited to your talking speed and not your thinking speed. So what we do is we train individuals to reduce the sub vocalization because the truth is, do you have to say all the words? Do you have to say New York City to understand what New York City is? Do you have to say the word computer to understand what a computer is? The truth is you don't because 95% of words are what they call sight words. They're words you've seen tens of thousands of times, like a stop sign. You don't have to say stop every single time, but you understand what it means? 95% of the words in your book that you're reading online, emails are words you've seen before. You don't have to say it in order to understand those words. So we train people to reduce this sublocalization.”

“So it's less taxing and you could go faster because it's not start stop. And so there are all these different tips, and the masterclass will walk people through so you actually get training on it. And again, it's free. 95% of what we publish is absolutely free because we want to democratize this to the world. But for your comprehension, the key to comprehension though is asking more questions, what we talked about, most people aren't looking for the pug dogs. So even when you're taking a test, usually the questions are at the end, right? In my books, I put the questions in the beginning, so it charges your reticular acaming systems when you read, they're like, oh, there is an answer, there's an answer, there's an answer. But the real culprit to reading faster is something called sub vocalization. Do you ever notice when you're reading something you hear that inner voice inside your head reading along with you?”

“Oh yeah, there are many. I mean, that will boost your reading speed and focus 25, 50% across the board. And then you'll learn, so there's something called fixations. And fixation is where your eyes will stop. And how many stops you make across the page determines how fast you're going to read, right? So it's like in traffic. If you're stopping, if there are 10 words, most people are stopping at every single word, so they're taking 10 stops. Faster train readers will actually use their peripheral vision to pull in more than one word. So if you look at a word on that page or on your screen, you could probably see the word to your left and to your right. Right. And so that's a trained skill. So a person seeing three or four words doesn't have to make 10 stops. They can make two or three stops.”

“The other reason why, and I'll tell you neurologically certain senses work very closely together, meaning have you ever tasted a great piece of fruit like fresh from the farmer's market, like a great tasting peach? You're not actually tasting the peach, you're smelling the peach, but your sense of smell and taste are so closely linked that your mind can't tell the difference. Can tell a difference if you're sick. If you can't breathe out of your nose and you're congested, what does food taste like nothing tastes bland, right? And so just as your sense of smell and taste are closely linked, so is your sense of sight and your sense of touch, that people literally using their finger while they read will say they feel more in touch with their reading. In fact, when people lose their sense of sight, how do they read? Touch, right?”

Number one, as hunter gatherers, we are visual creatures, that's our survival. Right? If you are you have to look at what moves. So if your finger is moving, you're going to follow the visual pacer because it's your survival. Like if something ran across this room, you wouldn't look at me. You would look at what moves because that's your survival, right? Because if your hunter gatherer in a bush and you're hunting that rabbit or that whatever your diet is, right? And that bush next to you moves, you have to look at what moves. Because number one, it can be lunch or number two, you could be lunch. So either way you have to look at what moves. So your fingers going across the page, your attention is being pulled through the information as opposed to your attention being pulled apart.”

“Most people lose focus, right? And that slows them down. Their eyes go in different places. And so if you use a visual pacer when you read, you'll read faster. What do I mean by visual pacer if you're watching on video? I'm using my fingered underline or a pen or a highlighter, a mouse on a computer will help you to read faster. Don't believe everything I'm saying. Test this. So what I would do is after this conversation, grab a book that you're reading, put a mark in the margin where you start, and just read how you would normally read and time yourself on your phone for sixty seconds. And then pick up where you left off, give yourself another sixty seconds, but this time just underline the words. Don't touch the screen if you're reading online or don't touch the book, but just go back and forth in a rhythm that's comfortable for you and then count the number of lines you read the second time. That second time on average will be 25 to 50 percent faster. And most people will say.”

“On average, about triple reading speed. So reading is very measurable. Now there's an upward cap. Like some people think you could read twenty thousand words a minute. The average person reads about 200 words a minute on average. Now, by the way, when you read, it doesn't make, if you can't understand a subject reading it faster is not going to help, right? If you don't understand Arabic, speed reading is not going to, if you don't understand nuclear physics reading it faster is not going to help, right? So you need to, you're not going to read any faster than you can understand. But I'll give you everyone a couple quick tips. Number one, when you're reading”

“If you allow, like, there's a link in my Instagram I put in for this publication, and there's a free one-hour masterclass. People could double their reading speed and bring whatever book they want and go for it, and it's there.”

“So, what I teach is not traditional speed reading. Traditional speed reading is more associated with skimming, scanning, skipping words, getting the gist of what you read. We train a lot of wealth managers and doctors. You don't want your doctor to get the gist of what she reads, right? So you want to be able to retain it. So there's smart reading. So most of the time, and we have students in every country in the world online through our academy, we kind of build like a con academy, but instead of for math, it's for accelerated learning, reading, memory, and so on. So on average, people with triple their reading speed, how do you do it? Well, I'll give you a couple of tips.”

“So, most people are still reading like they're seven or six. So the difficulty in demand has increased a whole lot, but how people read it is from the last time they learned it. And people think just because they've been doing something for so long, they're better at it. That's absolutely not true. Somebody even the other day said, I have 30 years of experience in sales. But you talk to them, you're like, not really with results. He has like one year of experience that he's repeated 30 times. There's a difference between growth and somebody's just kind of stalled, right? And same thing with reading. If you're just doing the same thing, just because you're doing the same, it's like typing. If I'm typing with two fingers, there's a cap in terms of how far. And if you do this for 30 years or three years, it doesn't matter. You're only going to reach a certain point as opposed to people using more of their faculties. Now, I know people who are listening in mass could triple their reading speed, right? Not of everything. Like, I can't.”

“So, like, you don't find me on the courses, on the links very much because I'm not very good at it. So I don't really want to do it. And most people don't read because they're not good at it because reading is a skill, and like all skills, they can be developed through training. But when's the last time you took a class called reading? How old were you when you took a class called not a college literature club, but a reading class?”

“I do believe, so if people have seen photos of me with Oprah or Elon or these individuals, you know, people invariably ask, you know, how did you connect? How did you... We bonded over books. You know, Yel and I were geeking out over some of our favorite sci-fi books, right? And then, you know, he brought me into the SpaceX. I did training for their rocket scientists. But it was leaders or readers. You know, you read to succeed. I talked about earlier that someone's decades experience and they read it. You can read it in a few days. You can download decades into days. It's a huge advantage, right? And they say Warren Buffett reads 500 pages a day. So you want to read to succeed because you learn from other people's experiences. You know, to spend the same time, money, trouble, stress from somebody else. Now, my reading has changed. For four years, I read a book a day because I was just so, most people don't read because they're not good at it. So if I'm not very good at golf, see?”

“So we could consume information however we consume it. Some people prefer to read it, some people prefer to watch it, some people prefer to listen to it, and since we all have different styles.”

“what you absorb, frankly, in so gut health is extremely important. That's why, you know, we talk about the power of a probiotics for people that taken on maybe they do it first thing in the morning. A good bacteria.”

“Yeah, they call your gut your second brain, right? And so there's a lot of neurotransmitters there. You create a lot of your serotonin there also as well. What do you mean matters, especially for your gray matter? What do you eat matters especially for your gray matter? There's a lot of microbiome tests also that you could test for food sensitivity that exists in the market. You know, we had Naveen Jane on our podcast and he has a company called Viome and they do that test also as well. But it shows you green, yellow, red. Green you could eat pretty much as much as you want of it, yellow, eat it sparingly and mild red ideally avoid. But imagine your gut is kind of like the roots of a plant that's feeding the stem and the stalk and the flowers of your brain. So what eat should nourish you because you are what not only you are what you eat you are.”

“Novelty, and for me reading. Reading is to your mind what exercises your body. I think it's the best people out. You get all fancy apps and everything else. I think, look, someone who has decades of experience, like yourself or your guests, and they put into a book, and you can sit down and read that book in a few days, you could download decades into days. That's the biggest advantage, right? And reading is incredible exercise for your mind, especially the way we teach it. And then finally, stress management, which you mentioned, you know, zero to ten, how well are you mitigating stress and coping with stress? What mechanisms and tools or rituals or practices do you have? You know, my go-to is meditation.”

“So, yeah, the last three really quickly are protect your brain. Your brain's very resilient, but it's very fragile. So I get to work with a lot of sports figures that have post concussions or TBIs. You know, and so we have protocols for that, and obviously see a doctor, zero to ten, rate yourself. New learnings is big. We talked about the power of learning.”
