Recently, I had the great pleasure of being interviewed for the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast with Dr. Anthony Metivier. Anthony is someone I've looked up to and admired for his amazing work with memory, and the huge following he has grown for his courses, books, and podcasts. Anthony will be among the first of our guests on the upcoming SuperHuman Academy Podcast, so this podcast serves as just a brief introduction to Anthony, who is an amazing interviewer!
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why speed reading is not snake oil and Jonathanās amazing bucket, hose and water metaphor for understanding your memory.
- Why long term memory functionally has no limit and how to maximize what you can place inside your mind.
- The precise meaning of what a āsuperlearnerā is and how to achieve this ability not just in your mind, but in your body too.
- Why you must change how you digest and interact with information in order to improve how you learn and memorize information.
- How to get more done in less time when it comes to learning just about anything.
- Why improving your mind is like putting advanced cabling into a house.
- The bottleneck effect that comes from usingĀ Duolingo,Ā SpreederĀ and other rote repetition programs and how to use your mind to gain an advantage over those who limit themselves to these tools.
- Why the memory tool āchunkingā may not be good for learning every single topic and why you need to have multiple tools.
- The relationship between driving manual transmission in your car and using your memory.
- Why adults learn differently and how to make sure that you can fulfill this requirement throughout your life.
- Why Jonathan prefers the term āMemory Templeā rather than āMemory Palace,ā āRoman Room,ā āHouse of Memoryā or āMethod of Loci.ā
- Why Jonathan doesnāt use the word āmnemonicsā and why it caused all kinds of suffering and even made him resent learning.
- The ākinesiology tapeā phenomenon and how it relates to memory competitions and the culture ofĀ memory games discussed in Joshua Foerās Moonwalking With Einstein.
- TheĀ Daniel TammetĀ issue and how it relates to psychics, mentalists and magicians (and why you should never fraudulently represent your advanced memory abilities once youāve developed them).
- Jonathanās amazing story of demonstrating exactly how someone who thought she had a bad memory easily memorized a phone number using memory techniques ā without even realizing it!
- The two dominant ways to memorize huge strings of numbers and the kind Jonathan relies upon predominantly ā including the reason why the Major Method is not his go-to method.
- How to use association to memorize pronunciation (using a fatty example from Russian).
- How Jonathan used Superlearning to solve his knee pain and restoring himself to health.
- SMART goals and why using them will help you become a Superlearner and maximize your time.

Thanks, I learned a lot of interesting things in past episodes.
loved th heart and the depth of the conversation. The way that Dr. Metivier shared from his enormous experience and insights was just amazing. Thank you Jonathan for doing this podcast!! š
Great interview with Dr. Greg Wells! He mentioned a doctor from Colorado around the 42:30 point of the podcast, discussing turmeric and black pepper. I couldnāt make out the doctorās name. Can you provide me with his full name and maybe his website or contact info. Interested in his products.
Thanks,
Rob
I am new here, and learning really fast.
Thank you.
Maybe oarts of the things he has to share are right, maybe not. If I look at him which impact his nurturing and living style has on himself I see a very old looking man! He is year 1973!! That is not old and he looks definitly much older!! If I would not know his birthyear I would guess that he is in his mid-60ies!! A bit concering for someone who claims his lifestyle is suitable for a long life, isn’t it?
