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.

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。

从国际象棋世界冠军到太极推手世界冠军的跨度有多大?为什么他能在两个截然不同的领域达到一般人连一个领域都难以企及的高度?这本书读下来,我想最重要的,应该是永远保持一颗初学者的心态,永远选择去寻找方法,而不是逃避问题,这样一种态度吧。关于心流体验,以及创造力的解释,这本书也提出了很有意思的观点。

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. Not recommended when you have better books to read. (展开)

书里的道理不复杂:保持学习,在培养技能/解决问题时“划小圈”。作者文笔很好,在国际象棋和太极间找到学习的共通点,从一个新角度讲老道理,对我还是有很大启发的。
