Ever noticed when you hop into a new car, maybe it's a little Audi A4 or something - then you hit the road and suddenly there's like a million other Audi A4's on the road?

You'll filter out all the extra bullshit.
Check it out.
And for more on the RAS and how to learn better and get what you want, check out Jim Kwik's book - Limitless
Here's a talk between Jim and Shawn Stevenson on how the RAS plays a big role in unlocking your brain's full potential.
Master Your Focus In Turbulent Times & Unlock Your Limitless Brain - With Guest Jim Kwik
That's it, taht's all, y'all.
Til next time, stay sweet!
