Josh Waitzkin knows what it means to be at the top of his game. A public figure since winning his first National Chess Championship at the age of nine, Waitzkin was catapulted into a media whirlwind as a teenager when his father's book Searching for Bobby Fischer was made into a major motion picture. After dominating the scholastic chess world for ten years, Waitzkin expanded his horizons, taking on the martial art Tai Chi Chuan and ultimately earning the title of World Champion. How was he able to reach the pinnacle of two disciplines that on the surface seem so different? "I've come to realize that what I am best at is not Tai Chi, and it is not chess," he says. "What I am best at is the art of learning." In his riveting new book, The Art of Learning , Waitzkin tells his remarkable story of personal achievement and shares the principles of learning and performance that have propelled him to the top -- twice. With a narrative that combines heart-stopping martial arts wars and tense chess face-offs with life lessons that speak to all of us, The Art of Learning takes readers through Waitzkin's unique journey to excellence. He explains in clear detail how a well-thought-out, principled approach to learning is what separates success from failure. Waitzkin believes that achievement, even at the championship level, is a function of a lifestyle that fuels a creative, resilient growth process. Rather than focusing on climactic wins, Waitzkin reveals the inner workings of his everyday method, from systematically triggering intuitive breakthroughs, to honing techniques into states of remarkable potency, to mastering the art of performance psychology. Through his own example, Waitzkin explains how to embrace defeat and make mistakes work for you. Does your opponent make you angry? Waitzkin describes how to channel emotions into creative fuel. As he explains it, obstacles are not obstacles but challenges to overcome, to spur the growth process by turning weaknesses into strengths. He illustrates the exact routines that he has used in all of his competitions, whether mental or physical, so that you too can achieve your peak performance zone in any competitive or professional circumstance. In stories ranging from his early years taking on chess hustlers as a seven year old in New York City's Washington Square Park, to dealing with the pressures of having a film made about his life, to International Chess Championships in India, Hungary, and Brazil, to gripping battles against powerhouse fighters in Taiwan in the Push Hands World Championships, The Art of Learning encapsulates an extraordinary competitor's life lessons in a page-turning narrative.

将技术细节、整体把控和可以控制的灵感结合到一起,就可以战无不胜。 实际操作和理念都讲的很清楚,难得的是就连灵感这种貌似捉摸不定的东西在这本书里也变得有迹可循。剩下的就是从最基础的细节开始实践。 没接触过象棋和太极没有关系,一通百通。

本书注定是一本非常小众的书,因为其中讲的是那些感受是常人不能理解的。世界上写术的书很多,写道的书很少,特别是外国人写道那是少之又少。然而这并不代表不重要。人一辈子都在遭遇自己的心魔限制,却很少有人说出这其中的经历。仿佛只要是外表上看起来好就并没有什么暗流涌动过。作者详细描述了自己学习象棋和太极的心路历程,详细描述了自己在学习时候当下的内心感受。我想我们大部分人在学习的时候其实都忽略了自己的感受,而... 本书注定是一本非常小众的书,因为其中讲的是那些感受是常人不能理解的。世界上写术的书很多,写道的书很少,特别是外国人写道那是少之又少。然而这并不代表不重要。人一辈子都在遭遇自己的心魔限制,却很少有人说出这其中的经历。仿佛只要是外表上看起来好就并没有什么暗流涌动过。作者详细描述了自己学习象棋和太极的心路历程,详细描述了自己在学习时候当下的内心感受。我想我们大部分人在学习的时候其实都忽略了自己的感受,而更注重技艺的增长,殊不知技艺的增长却是要依附在我们的心态之上的。读得非常无力,因为越到后面越看不懂,越觉得离自己千万里。感受到了自己的差距真是大到不可附加。 (展开)

super inspring,是可以枕边随时翻翻的handbook。scott young之前的study less learn more现在看起来基本上是这本书的note take。现在看英文的速度基本稳定在每分钟937字的速度,再快就理解不能了,果然大量阅读才是提速的标准,马克一下。

作者分享了一些自己的心得,但大部分篇幅是讲自己如何牛逼的。之所以从4星改到5星是因为作者“画小圈”的概念给我印象非常之深,使我有意识地套用这种方法去解决一些问题。“画小圈”本质上是分析问题并归纳提炼出一个基本的解决方案,并重复练习。这个基本的方案普遍,而且相对简单。就像军训走正步要练习分解动作这样。

Not a book that could guide most people who are not as super talented as he is. Too much self-admiring and pride which impaired the book's credibility.
