Read.
Talk with people about things that you have all read.
Read what film critics have to say about a movie after you have seen it and thought about it and talked with friends about it.
Learn/study something different, like a new language, music, digital Photography, math, physics, media, golf, skiing, qi gong, Martial Arts, origami, drawing, gardening, cooking.
Stop that defensive nonsense. Get humble and realize that opening up to a new view of things is what increasing comprehension is all about.
If you can't frankly and calmly admit to mistakes, you are in denial. Don't worry about comprehension; you have as much as you'll ever have.
Read, and pay attention.
Do aerobic and resistance exercises regularly. I'm not talking Olympics. Just get the sludge out.
Learn something about logic and rhetoric. Comprehension isn't all about remembering facts-- it's also about thinking clearly.
Listen to intelligent people talking with each other. It doesn't make any difference who is right; maybe they're both wrong. Just listen and learn.
Oh, did I mention-- READ.
When you're not reading, spend a lot of time with friends and loved ones.
Eat and slowly savor great food and drink, but ONLY when you're hungry, and STOP when you are full.
After dinner, spend some time reading.
